Q: Billing | What is an Explanation of Benefits (EOB)?
After your charges are generated in our billing system, our Central Business Office will submit your rendered services to the insurance carrier information you provide to us. As a result you will receive an “Explanation of Benefits” (EOB) statement from your insurance company. An “Explanation of Benefits” is not a bill. It is a statement from your insurance carrier informing you of the charges submitted on your behalf and how the charges were processed.

Q: First Visit | How should I dress for my therapy sessions?
We want you to be comfortable during your visits. You are welcome to come in your street clothes or change into something comfortable when you get here. If we are evaluating your knee or shoulder for the first time you may choose to bring a T-shirt or shorts, but it is not required. We do suggest comfortable shoes with non-skid bottoms for your comfort and safety.
