Why We Started Thrive Physical Therapy and Wellness
Thrive grew out of a commitment to provide our patients with the highest quality care at a fair price, unencumbered by the conflicting motives of insurance companies and profit driven health care corporations. Doing so frees you from arbitrary limitations on visits, treatment times and denials of care imposed by many insurance companies. This also allows us to keep our overhead low by avoiding the cost of administrative staff.
Unlike most providers who schedule 30-40 minute appointments, we schedule our appointments for one hour or more. Your care will be focused on YOUR goals–undistracted by multiple patients, administrative interruptions, phone calls or the need to devote your appointment time to reporting to insurance case managers. Extended appointment times may allow for fewer visits per week as well as over the course of care and expedite your recovery time. Your time is valuable and we recognize that taking less time away from your busy life to attend physical therapy will save you money.
Moreover, as copays and overall deductibles have continued to increase, many patients are paying as much or even more for shorter visits at insurance based clinics. Many insurance plans will pay all or part of out of network services and we will provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. We are providers for Medicare, Tricare and and workers’ comp and will gladly accept payment from these insurers.
At Thrive, we utilize the most current evidence combined with decades of professional experience to diagnose and treat the root causes of your symptoms rather than merely chasing your pain. Then, we go the extra mile to help you build the resilience to return to the activities that give your life meaning, whether that be holding your grandchild or achieving peak performance at an athletic event. All treatments are provided by Physical Therapists who are board certified in orthopedics and fellowship trained, a distinction that less than 1% of the PT’s in the United States can claim. Recent research showed that care provided by fellowship trained physical therapists achieved superior outcomes when compared to therapists without this training. Our goal is to empower you to be in charge of your health and return to the aspects of life that are most meaningful to you.
