Paying cash: what to do
- Ask how many units and which codes a typical visit bills, then multiply the per-unit prices in the table.
- Ask independent physical therapy practices for a flat per-visit cash rate; many offer one.
- Compare a hospital-based therapy clinic with an independent practice, since hospital outpatient prices are often higher for the same codes.
