General Questions

How does mobile physical and occupational therapy work?

Answer: Mobile PT/OT brings care directly to you—whether at home, work, or another convenient location. Instead of traveling to a clinic, you receive one-on-one, personalized treatment in your own space. This model allows for greater flexibility, convenience and customized care tailored to your needs.

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

Answer: In New York, you can see a physical therapist without a referral for the first 10 visits or 30 days under Direct Access. After that, Medicare and some insurance plans may require a physician’s order. If needed, we can help coordinate with your doctor to obtain the necessary documentation.

What areas do you serve?

Answer: We primarily serve The Five Towns, Rockville Centre, East Rockaway, Valley Stream, Malverne, Garden City and surrounding Nassau County areas. If you're outside this region, reach out to see if we can accommodate your location or refer you to a trusted provider.

Medicare & Insurance

Yes! We are a Medicare Part B provider. If you qualify, medicare typically covers 80% of the cost after your deductible, and your secondary insurance may cover the remaining 20%. If you don’t have secondary insurance, you may be responsible for a small copay.

Medicare covers skilled PT/OT that is deemed medically necessary, such as post-surgical rehab, mobility issues, and pain management. However, preventative care, wellness programs, and maintenance therapy may not be covered. For these services, we offer cash-based wellness plans to help you stay active and independent.

Why would I pay cash if I have insurance?

  • Longer, more personalized sessions (60 minutes vs. typical 30-minute clinic visits)

  • No insurance restrictions—we focus on what’s best for your, not limited to what insurance allows

Yes! Most Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) cover physical therapy. We provide detailed invoices for reimbursement upon request. Check with your provider to confirm eligibilit

  • Assessing stairs, bathrooms and entryways for safety improvements

  • Personalized fall prevention exercises to improve balance and coordination

This is a cash-based service,  some aspects may be covered by Medicare if medically necessary.
