But with so many options for healthcare, you may be wondering why you should consider physical therapy. Here are just a few reasons why physical therapy is a great option for many people.
1 Physical therapy can help you recover from injury: Whether you've been in an accident, have a sports injury, or have developed a condition like arthritis, physical therapy can help you recover and get back to your normal activities. Physical therapists are trained to assess and treat a wide range of conditions, and they can develop an individualized plan to help you reach your goals.
2 Physical therapy can help manage chronic conditions: For many people, physical therapy is a lifelong journey. If you have a chronic condition like arthritis, back pain, or fibromyalgia, physical therapy can help manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Physical therapists can teach you exercises to manage your condition, help you develop coping strategies, and provide ongoing support.
3 Physical therapy can prevent future injuries: Physical therapy can help you stay healthy and prevent future injuries by teaching you proper form, increasing your strength and flexibility, and educating you on injury prevention strategies. Physical therapists can also identify potential risk factors for injury and develop a plan to help you avoid them.

Physical therapists can help you avoid unnecessary surgeries and procedures, and they can often help you avoid the need for long-term use of pain medications. Physical therapy can also help you avoid future injuries, which can save you time and money in the long run.

How does BeOnTheMove receive my benefits information?
BeOnTheMove collects your insurance information before scheduling appointments. We then verify your benefits with your insurance company. Our team provides this information by accessing insurance portals specifically designed for providers to review your coverage and determine your eligibility for benefits. BeOnTheMove then informs you of your deductibles, co-pay/co-insurance, and other relevant coverage information .
what do the terms mean?
Deductible - A health insurance deductible is a specified amount that must be paid by a policyholder before the health insurance coverage begins. In other words, it's the amount that the policyholder must pay out of pocket before the insurance company will start covering the remaining costs.
For example, if you have a health insurance policy with a $1,000 deductible, you would need to pay the first $1,000 of covered medical expenses before your insurance company starts covering the costs. After you have met your deductible, your insurance company will generally pay a portion of the remaining costs, and you may be responsible for paying copays, coinsurance, or other out-of-pocket costs.
Co-pay - A copay is a fixed dollar amount that a policyholder must pay for a covered medical service. The copay is usually paid at the time of the service and is separate from the deductible, which is the amount that must be paid before insurance coverage begins.
For example, if you have a health insurance policy with a $30 copay for visits, you would need to pay $30 every time, regardless of the cost of the visit. The insurance company would then cover the remaining costs, if any, subject to the policy limits and any other terms and conditions.
The purpose of a copay is to share the cost of covered medical services between the policyholder and the insurance company. Copays are often used to discourage policyholders from seeking unnecessary medical care, as they must pay a portion of the cost for each visit. The amount of the copay can vary depending on the type of medical service and the specific health insurance policy. Some policies may have higher copays for certain services, such as specialist visits, while others may have lower copays for preventive care services, such as annual check-ups.
Co-insurance - Coinsurance is a type of cost sharing between the policyholder and the insurance company in which the policyholder is responsible for paying a specified percentage of the covered medical expenses. Coinsurance is typically calculated after the policyholder has met their deductible.
For example, if you have a health insurance policy with a 20% coinsurance, and you incur $10,000 in medical expenses after meeting your $1,000 deductible, you would be responsible for paying 20% of the remaining $9,000, or $1,800. Your insurance company would then cover the remaining $7,200.
Coinsurance is often used to encourage policyholders to be cost-conscious when seeking medical care, as they must pay a portion of the cost for each service. The amount of the coinsurance and the specific terms and conditions can vary depending on the health insurance policy. Some policies may have higher coinsurance for certain services, such as outpatient surgery, while others may have lower coinsurance for preventive care services, such as annual check-ups.
It's important to understand your health insurance policy's coinsurance requirements, as you may be responsible for paying a significant portion of your medical expenses even after you have met your deductible. This can be an important factor to consider when comparing health insurance options and making decisions about your coverage.
Total treatment days allowed per calendar year - Total treatment days allowed per calendar year refers to the maximum number of days of inpatient treatment that an insurance policy will cover in a given year. This limit is typically set by the insurance company and may vary depending on the specific health insurance policy.
It's also worth noting that treatment day limits may be subject to change, and some insurance policies may have different limits for different types of treatment.
