FAQs
-
No, Empower PT is not in-network with any medical insurance. However, we can provide a receipt (called a superbill) that you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
You can also use both HSA and FSA to pay for physical therapy visits.
-
We are a private-pay practice so we can deliver exceptional, one-on-one care without compromise. Insurance often limits treatment to one body area and how many sessions you receive - regardless of your actual needs.
By choosing not to contract with insurance companies, we’re able to:
Treat the whole body, not just one area
Spend 100% of your session focused on you- your time is never shared.
Personalize every step of your care to reach your goals faster.
You can use both HSA and FSA to pay for physical therapy visits.
-
Often, yes. Many clients use their out-of-network benefits. We’re happy to provide an itemized receipt (superbill) that you can submit for possible reimbursement.
-
Private pay physical therapy means you pay your therapist directly instead of going through insurance.
This allows for longer, one-on-one sessions and care tailored to your goals without restrictions.
-
You receive our undivided attention for your full session—no techs, no double booking. This approach often results in faster progress, fewer total visits, and long-term changes.
-
Absolutely! After a comprehensive assessment, you’ll receive initial treatment, a personalized home exercise program, and education specific to your movement needs and source of pain.
-
It depends—because every session is customized to what your body needs that day! It might be entirely hands-on manual therapy, a combination of individualized therapeutic exercises and movement education, or a mix of both.
Our goal is to meet you where you are and support your progress each step of the way.
-
Not at all! We work with people for injury recovery and prevention, pre and post-surgery rehab, improved mobility, chronic conditions, or simply to move and feel better.
-
No referral is needed to start care—Florida allows direct access to physical therapy.
However, if you plan to seek insurance reimbursement, your provider may require a referral for coverage.
Why should you choose private pay Physical Therapy?
At Empower PT, we’ve made the intentional decision to operate as a private-pay practice because it allows us to provide the highest level of personalized care without compromise.
In traditional insurance-based settings, therapists are often required to juggle multiple patients at once, follow rigid treatment codes, and limit care to a single injury or body part per session. This leads to fragmented care, limited one-on-one time, and early discharge—even before meaningful goals are achieved.
We believe you deserve better.
By choosing not to contract with insurance companies, we’re able to:
-
Insurance restrictions often prohibit addressing more than one area per session. But pain in one place often originates elsewhere. We treat your body as a whole to help you heal faster and move better.
-
Our sessions are always one-on-one, never shared. That means your therapist’s time, expertise, and energy are 100% devoted to your care.
-
We’re not bound by insurance-driven diagnoses, visit caps, or generic protocols. Your plan of care is designed around your goals, your lifestyle, and your timeline—not an insurance company's policies.
-
Our goal is to get you better, faster—with fewer visits and more meaningful outcomes.
We understand that navigating healthcare costs can be confusing. While we are not in-network with any insurance providers, we do provide a detailed receipt (superbill) you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement, depending on your out-of-network benefits. We also accept Health Savings (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
Ultimately, private-pay care at Empower PT is an investment in your health, your time, and your long-term well-being. We’re here to guide you every step of the way—and cheer you on as you reach your goals.
