Negotiation Tips

PT sessions are often billed per unit (15 minutes) rather than per session -- verify the number of units charged matches the actual time spent in therapy
Hospital-based PT offices charge 2-3x more than independent PT clinics for identical services due to facility fees
Ask for cash-pay rates upfront -- many PT clinics offer rates of $75-125 per session that beat insurance-billed rates
Check whether your plan has a PT visit limit -- once you hit the cap, negotiate a cash rate directly with the provider
