The first visit is the initial evaluation. During this visit, we will get to know you, discuss any symptoms you’re experiencing, what activities are important to you and curate a plan of care specific to you.

We will go over your history, your difficulties and what your goals are for therapy. Following discussion, we will assess your balance, strength and coordination. A mobility assessment will be completed to determine how you perform daily tasks.

Purely Pelvic Therapy has elected to be an out-of-network provider. Instead, we provide occupational therapy on a “fee at time of service” basis. By not contracting with your insurance companies, we do not have to limit the time or type of service provided because of insurance restrictions. This allows us to offer competitive rates as we do not pay for billing services.

If you plan on using your out-of-network benefits, prior to your first scheduled appointment, call your insurance company to be sure you complete understand your occupational therapy benefits. We can provide chart notes or other documentation at your-or your insurance company’s- request. The amount of reimbursement you receive will vary according to the terms of your insurance policy. We cannot make guarantees or estimates regarding what your reimbursement your plan allows as every plan varies.

Regretfully, we are unable to accept patients with Medicare at this time.

We accept cash, check, Visa/MasterCard/Discover, or HSA/FSA at the time of service.

The fee ranges are as follows:

1 hour initial evaluation - $225

1 hour follow up treatments- $175

In order to respect your time and ours, we kindly ask that you provide at least 24 hours notice for any cancellation or rescheduling.

Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice will be subject to a $100 fee. Same day cancellations or no-shows will be charged the full cost of the session.
