deBorja Physical Therapy FAQ
We understand that you may have some questions regarding our services, insurance, and more. We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you better understand the process.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to answer them.
Do I need a referral from my physician to receive treatment?
No, you do not need a referral from your physician to receive physical therapy evaluation and treatment. Maryland is by law a direct access state. This means that you can go to physical therapy directly without a physician referral for any musculoskeletal condition. As physical therapists, we are musculoskeletal specialists that will save you time and money as result of avoiding costly tests such as MRI's, and not having to endure wait times that will delay your recovery.
Do you accept my insurance?
deBorja Physical Therapy is not in contract with any insurance companies. This enables us to give hands-on, one-on-one care for a full hour to speed up progress and performance. Other clinics may work with you at 2-4 patients per hour with limited time with your physical therapist.
The actual reimbursement that the clinic receives for these abbreviated sessions is only about half of what is billed to the insurance. Clinics may accept this rate under their contract with the insurance company. We believe in putting the client's needs first, providing exemplary care, and producing results in the most efficient manner possible. Being out of network with insurance companies enables us to do this.
Can I get reimbursement from my insurance company?
Yes, reimbursement from your insurance company is possible. The client is responsible for submitting claims to their insurance company. Instructions for this can be found on the insurance company's website.
In the case your insurance provides out-of-network benefits, we will give you a designated invoice upon request, that must be sent in with your insurance company's claim form.
We recommend that you speak with your insurance company directly to become knowledgeable on what their out-of-network benefits include.
Be sure to ask the following:
- Do I have out-of-network benefits?
- Do I have a deductible for these benefits?
- How close am I to meeting this deductible?
How often will I get seen?
Treatment frequency is unique to each client and based on the findings of the initial evaluation, compliance with your recommended home program, and your goals. Generally, clients are seen 1-2/week. Visits are more frequent initially, then reduce over time as you progress toward your goals. Courses of care can range from a few visits to several months.
The duration ultimately is based on the complexity and severity of your condition and your long term goals. Your time is of utmost importance. We promise to use it wisely and not waste it with activities that can be done on your own.
What should I wear to my therapy visits?
The best thing to wear at your therapy visits is comfortable shorts and a T-shirt. For women, a sports bra, tank top, or bikini top may be helpful to allow visual assessment of your shoulders, posture, and neck. If you have long hair, bring a hair tie so that the therapist can observe and physically examine your neck. You may want to bring your therapy clothes to change into depending on your work and personal activities on the day of your scheduled visit.
Every comprehensive evaluation and therapy visit involves assessment of your movement patterns, your standing posture from the front, back, right and left sides, and palpation (skilled physical placement of the hands on your body to assess for areas such as tension, pain, thickness, impaired sensation, softness, and reactivity).
What is a direct care provider?
A direct care provider means that payment in the form of cash, check, credit, or health care savings account is due at the time of treatment.
As a direct care provider, deBorja Physical Therapy does not participate with or have a contract with any insurance company. By doing this, we can provide the best focused care possible to help you reach your goals.
How soon will I see and feel an improvement?
The speed at which the physical problem is eased is completely dependent upon your age, how long you’ve had it, how severe it is, your participation in a the simple physical therapist-prescribed self treatment plan, and the manual skills of the therapist. Most often you will see and feel an improvement within the first 1-3 visits.
Your physical therapist will lift your concerns and ease your worries by telling you what’s going wrong during the first visit, provide you hands on care, insights, and more findings as you progress through your plan of care, and maintain ongoing open communication to seek your feedback with the hands on care.

When is payment due?
Payment is due at the time of service unless an alternative payment plan is arranged with your therapist. Payment is made securely via online invoice link sent to your email address or by payment taken by the clinic in person.
