FAQS
DO YOU TAKE MY INSURANCE?
That depends on your insurance. If you have Blue Cross Blue Shield (excluding Anthem), MassGeneral Brigham, GIC, Wellpoint, Unicare or Medicare insurance we will bill your insurance directly. If you have another insurance provider we will give you a "superbill" that includes all the information needed to for you to submit to insurance for reimbursement. Many patients receive full reimbursement.
Understanding what your insurance covers and doesn't cover is really important. That's why we've made this checklist here. Give your insurance company a call and have this ready to fill out. It should provide a straight forward idea of your benefits.
We are considered an Out-of-Network Providers for all except Blue Cross Blue Shield, MassGeneral Brigham, Wellpoint, GIC, Unicare and Medicare.

A NOTE FROM ALICIA:
The human body has an amazing capacity to heal itself. On that journey of healing, we often find greater benefit with guidance. At Padme Physical Therapy, we offer compassionate care to ensure you are on your path of healing. Physical therapy can help people maintain, restore, and improve movement, activity, and functioning. Returning to or finding more physical mobility can greatly increase your quality of life and potentially lead to a happier overall existence.
In a physical therapy evaluation, your injury will be evaluated and diagnosed, and a plan of care will be created in order to return you to optimal, pain-free function. Treatment may involve manual hands-on techniques, functional assessment, and treatments to get to the root of your issue. Your posture and body mechanics will be assessed and any mal-alignments and less than optimal movement patterns will be addressed. Through a prescribed program of therapeutic exercises and stretches to heighten your awareness, you can move into less pain and create the change your body is asking for. Limitations can range anywhere from getting a good night sleep to lifting groceries, running, shoveling or lifting a kayak into the Charles.
With a holistic approach to treatment, the therapists at Padme Physical Therapy are able to deliver a unique, individualized, skilled and compassionate experience of healing. Get in touch to learn about the services we provide.
