First off….Is shopping for health insurance even a thing? Like you shop for car insurance or home owners insurance?
How much of a choice do you get when choosing an insurance company?
Do you get to choose them based on patient reviews of how they pay for patients visits?
Do you get to choose them based on results?
Do you know what benefits your plan provides yet find that the insurance company will end up denying them?

Thank you so much Lacey for sharing your story on google about how Nick Rinard Physical Therapy has helped you!
May your google stories help others find Nick Rinard Physical Therapy and the path to a life they are in charge of!
“I’ve been going to Nick Rinard PT for about a year and a half, treating a variety of ailments (it’s hell getting old!) but mostly focused on my hip. In fact, on my first visit, Nick figured out that my right butt muscle didn’t work and had to be shocked into activation! I’ve learned so much about my body and get amazing results from his therapy. The staff & PT’s are wonderful and welcoming. I always feel 100x better after an appointment and the take home therapy is always clear, easy to do, and it actually works!” Lacey

We at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy have noticed over the last few years that our patients are generally being monitored less and less by a regular family physician. More of you are opting to go to urgent care for medical needs, or, when you attend your family doctor, maybe a care extender sees you instead of the person who has known you for years. This has resulted in medical issues getting missed and appearing in physical therapy where they don’t belong.
We developed a PHI (physical health inventory) to screen the health of our patients and see if we can detect anything in time to prevent poor health outcomes.
It has been met with success for those who have tried it. Think about the following items. Are you interested?
When was the last time your overall health was screened?
Did you know that heart rate and grip strength can predict underlying conditions?
It’s important to assess your physical health every 6 months…
You can schedule your PHI (physical health inventory) today!
We have created this just for you!
It’s FREE! Please take advantage of it.

Let Natasha Rinard OT get you results today!
“My thumb joint was very painful to use is why I currently see Natasha.
She is an expert at making a custom fitting splint and teaching why the joint is painful.
She takes incremental steps to pace progress in a a direction resulting in less pain and finally to dismissal.
The skills Natasha taught me will apply to other joints and gives me a lasting remedy to use in order to stay pain free.
The office atmosphere is light hearted and friendly so I look forward to my visits. I can’t always comply with the program set out for me while at work but Natasha is ready with alternatives and encouragement.
I always feel confident I will recover from my injury or pain after the care I receive from the staff at Nick Rinard’s physical therapy.”

“I struggled for the best part of a year with a hip/back problem that fundamentally limited my running, biking, and skiing.
It was very frustrating as I wondered if I’d have to give up running, a sport I depend on for physical & emotional release.
I tried various forms of PT, yoga, and chiropractic care with no relief and some progression of symptoms.
A lumber spine MRI revealed a host of problems, and a recommendation of a steroid injection.
A friendly physician advised me against this, and my primary doctor suggested I check out Nick and team.
What a change! Within a couple of visits I was starting to run symptom-free again, and I’m feeling very active, with my physical activity now limited by my cardiovascular condition rather than my injury.” -Malcolm

“Primary doctor suggested therapy after my January physical before considering any surgery.
I’m glad the doctor suggested therapy, mainly due to my age and recovery time that accompanies surgery.
I feel I’m back to 95-98% of what I was prior to therapy and should maintain this status by faithfully doing the exercise they have given me.
I would recommend Nick Rinard to anyone requiring physical therapy either prior to or after surgery!”

Do you have the feeling, or expect, that Physical Therapy should be covered by your insurance?
Physical therapy providers are starting to identify some very good reasons why involving your insurance may NOT be in your best interest!
Just like filing an auto insurance claim for damage that doesn’t meet your deductible – it is often best to forego involving your insurance and just pay out of pocket. There is no need to inform your car insurance that there was any damage and risk them increasing your premiums the next time your policy renews. It is the same with filing a health insurance claim. Filing a small claim for physical therapy can have negative complications and unintended consequences. Especially when you can get diagnosed in 2-4 visit at Nick Rinard Physical Therapy, and get good results soon after that, it is better to not have your insurance medaling in your physical therapy affairs by questioning whether you “deserve” physical therapy or not.
Health insurance companies are demanding more and more that patients meet certain criteria, through one-size-fits-none measurements to either deny you care, or begrudgingly agree to authorize just a limited number of visits. This is insulting to your legitimate pain, and disrespectful of your medical providers who should be the only ones deciding if you need care or not. Also, your insurance reserves the right to determine – even after the fact – that your care is/was not “medically necessary” and deny your claims leaving you with an unforeseeable bill. This really is unethical and undermines your relationship with your provider. Also, insurance companies are increasing your cost of care to save themselves money with patient portions closer and closer to the total bill. You, the patient, are better off just paying at time of service at our clinic and not bothering with the extra headache, expense, and disrespectful treatment associated with filing insurance claims – even though you are totally legitimate!
Nick Rinard Physical Therapy’ wants to save you money. Our pay at time of service rate eliminates billing uncertainties from insurance companies. We are making visits more affordable and getting better health outcomes for patients. Advantages to paying at time of service include that patients get uninterrupted service, higher quality care they can trust, hassle-free billing, and no surprise bills at the end. It really is a win – win for both providers and patients for those with high deductibles, who want care out-of-network, who are self-employed, self-insured, expired PIPs and for people who have health savings accounts.
Now is the time to stop insurance companies from unethically pretending to be medical providers and payment specialists that do not have the patients’ best interest at heart. We are your providers working for you! It is our oath get you results, free of pain and back to living life… We know health insurance companies cannot promise the same.
