Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a prescription or referral from my doctor for physical therapy?
A prescription is highly recommended for treatment but is not required. The State of Maryland allows open access for care which means licensed physical therapists can treat patients without a prescription. However, please be aware that certain insurance companies require a prescription from your primary care physician or specialist to cover treatment.
Do you take insurance?
No. Level PT is out-of-network for all private / commercial insurance. However, we do submit all claims for our patients. In addition, our billing department will review each patient’s out-of-network benefits & deductible status, calculate an estimated co-payment for the evaluation & treatments, and share this information with the patient prior to their first appointment.
If your out-of-network deductible has been met, your insurance will pay a portion of the cost to either Level PT or directly to you depending on your plan.
Payment is due at the end of each session.
Do you treat Medicare patients?
Yes, Level PT is an in-network provider for Medicare. We will submit all claims for our patients to Medicare. In addition, our billing department will review each patient’s Medicare benefits and deductible, calculate an estimated co-payment (if there is one) for the evaluation & treatments, and share this information with the patient prior to their first appointment. Payment is due at the end of each session.
What form of payment do you take / Do you take credit cards & checks, which ones?
