FAQs
How do I get started?
You can make an appointment here or email info@athleticedgept.com.
What happens in a session?
During the evaluation, we will discuss your history, perform a movement screen, and identify the areas you’d like to become stronger in. Together we will create a clear path forward.
Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in and bring any footwear or assistive devices you are currently using.
Why use an out of network provider?
You should be at the front of your care. We believe in being direct, honest, and transparent.
It is the goal of Athletic Edge Physical Therapy to provide elite level care which is highly personalized and well communicated. I am here to listen to you and help guide you to the best of your ability without taking you out of your activities. This model bypasses unnecessary medical appointments and accelerates your return to sport, pain free activity, and improved function. Our main focus becomes your health and goals, not insurance paperwork. If we are not the right PT for you, we will use our network to get you in front of the right person, and not just the next one.
The current system of insurance creates barriers to care including high patient volume, decreased overall physical therapy experience, increased appointments within the medical system, decreased ability for 1 on 1 care, inability to treat multiple body regions at one time, and low reimbursement to the provider. These pressures on providers may result in double booking appointments, decreased time for communication with other practitioners in your care team, and the administration of non-skilled treatment when it is not necessary. You should leave each session with your PT feeling accomplished and moving forward, not doing the same exercises as always or feeling ignored.
When requested, we will provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance agency for potential out of network reimbursement. It is recommended you call your insurance agency to ask about out of network benefits. The out of network worksheet may be found here.
California is a direct access state, meaning that you do not require a referral from a doctor to receive physical therapy services. However, most insurance companies require a referral for reimbursement. Often, this creates additional co-pays and delays in the beginning of treatment. A skilled physical therapist will refer you to your physician if necessary.
How long do physical therapy sessions typically last?
Each session at Athletic Edge Physical Therapy lasts for one hour. This ensures that you receive one-on-one personalized care and attention with your physical therapist throughout your entire visit, with a focus on your specific needs.
