Cash-pay, explained

What paying directly gets you

A full hour, one-on-one

Every visit is you and your doctor — no aides, no double-booking, no hand-offs.

Once a week, not three times

One visit a week, not two or three. Your plan works between visits — you need fewer overall.

A superbill for your insurance

We provide a superbill you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

HSA, FSA, and cards welcome

Pay with HSA or FSA funds, or any major card.

No referral needed in California

California lets you start physical therapy directly, without a physician referral. You can begin this week.

The honest answer: we're out-of-network, so coverage depends on your plan. Many plans reimburse part through a superbill. We'll walk it through with you before you spend anything.

How it starts

  1. Call us

    Call to schedule and ask us anything. If we're not a fit, we'll say so.

  2. Your first visit

    In person in Irvine or by video anywhere in California. A full one-on-one evaluation.

  3. Your plan

    You leave knowing what's driving your symptoms, what we'll do, and what you'll do at home.
