Does Empower U accept insurance for physical therapy services?
At Empower U, we are a cash-based practice and do not accept insurance. This allows us to provide high-quality, personalized care without the restrictions or limitations often imposed by insurance companies. Our focus is on delivering the best possible outcomes through one-on-one sessions that include manual therapy, dry needling, and corrective exercises. While we don’t bill insurance directly, we can assist you in submitting a Superbill to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, though this depends on your individual plan and out-of-network benefits. We accept various payment methods, including HSA and FSA accounts, and offer discounted package plans to make our services more affordable.
