Is my appointment virtual or in person?
We have the ability to do virtual appointments. These sessions have worked very well over the past 3 years and we continue to offer them to interested families. Unless specified as virtual, your appointment will be in-person.
Do you accept insurance?
We are vendored as pediatric specialist with Meritage Medical which oversees all HMO policies in Marin and Sonoma Counties. We are not contracted with any other insurance companies. We do not bill insurance companies directly. You will be provided with a Super bill to submit your claim. Payment for services is due when the services are rendered. We can provide the necessary information for your insurance company to assist you in requesting out-of-network services for your child.
Many families request an Out-of-Network Gap Exception. Often, your doctor’s office can make this request for you. This exception would assist you in getting reimbursement for our out-of network services. We can supply the additional information that will be required to make this request.
How do I request any additional information for an Out-of-Network Referral?
Email our virtual assistant Rhana here.
What are the fees for Physical Therapy?
The evaluation fee is $425.00 and the ongoing sessions are $225.00.
How much will I be reimbursed when I submit my claim?
Every policy varies in what they will cover. It’s best to call your insurer and find out exactly what services are covered and at what rate. Many companies will cover 70% of the charges. Some insurers have caps on annual allowances for therapies. Again, call your carrier and to get the information you will need to handle your claim.
How many years has Christine been working with children?
Christine has been working with children since 1981.
Do you recommend other therapies in addition to Physical Therapy?
Many times a child comes in and may need additional therapies. We work in conjunction with other therapists in the area…Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and Behavioral therapy to mention a few. We also recommend recreational activities that are therapeutic (as well as fun!) such as swimming, horseback riding, gymnastics, music and movement classes, etc.
What is the difference between Physical Therapy vs, Occupational Therapy?
In the pediatric practice there is a large overlap between Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy. Both use developmental therapy but can be augmented with specialty areas and a therapist’s knowledge based on her formal education and continuing education. PT focuses on gross motor skills, gait and mobility. OT may work more with fine motor abilities, sensory and perceptual skills, handwriting and other activities of daily living.
Do you participate in any Early Intervention Programs?
We are vendorized by the Golden Gate Regional Center to evaluate and treat children in their program.
