Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a care plan package and a membership?
Care plans are best suited for people coming in with a specific concern that may require a course of treatment. After your evaluation, The therapist will assess how many visits may be beneficial so you can understand what care plan is best for you.
Membership is centered on wellness, community, and relationship-based care. It is a good option if you want an advocate who knows you and your body, and who can support you with proactive check-ins and treatment before problems become more significant. If something does arise, you have access to the best rate for care for 16 visits.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your initial evaluation (~60 minutes) includes a detailed history, comprehensive physical assessment, and treatment. We'll discuss your goals, review relevant medical history, perform movement and manual assessments, and begin hands-on treatment during the first session.
How long are follow-up visits?
Follow-up sessions are 50 minutes, allowing time for reassessment, hands-on manual therapy, and education or exercise as needed. We also offer shorter follow ups which may be appropriate depending on your needs.
How many visits will I need?
This varies based on your condition, goals, and how your body responds. Many clients see significant improvement in 6-12 visits for acute issues. Chronic conditions may require more sessions. We'll discuss your specific timeline after the initial evaluation.
Will you help submit to my insurance company?
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes! Physical therapy services qualify for HSA and FSA reimbursement. We can process HSA/FSA cards directly, or you can submit receipts for reimbursement.
Do you take insurance?
Coverage depends on your specific plan. Before treatment, we will go through how we help you work with your insurance. The process is simple and our team is happy to answer any questions.
How does seeing an out-of-network provider benefit me?
We are out-of-network so we can deliver the high-quality, individualized care YOU deserve, without insurance companies dictating your treatment plan or visit limits.
At Root Holistic, your care is driven by what your body actually needs, not what your insurance company needs.
Still wondering about the financial side? Let’s break down a common comparison.
In-Network, when you see an in-network provider:
-
You pay 100% of treatment costs until you hit your deductible ($1,000-$6,000 individual, $2,000-$12,000 family)
-
After deductible? You still owe co-pays ($40-$70 per visit) OR co-insurance (10-50% of each session)
-
Typical in-network care: 2-3x/week × 6-12 weeks = 12-36 visits total
-
5-15 minutes 1-on-1 PT time per session
-
Rest = "supervised" exercises or PT tech/aide
-
Total out-of-pocket: easily $2,000-$5,000+ when you add it all up
-
Root Holistic Manual Therapy and Performance
Out-of-network direct-pay at Root Holistic means:
-
~1x/week or less, 50-minute sessions (100% 1-on-1 with specialist provider)
-
4-12 total sessions
-
$180 per 50-minute session (package pricing available)
Most Root Holistic clients spend less total than in-network because:
-
Fewer visits needed (we address root causes vs. symptom management)
-
More 1-on-1 time (50 minutes vs 5-15)
-
No surprise copays/deductibles
Bottom line: With Root Holistic, you control your care and typically spend less time and money overall for better results with a specialist who actually listens.
