Frequently Asked Questions

  • Branch and Body is considered an out-of-network provider, and therefore a cash-based practice.  This allows for care to be dictated by the client and the provider, not by the restrictive hoops of a third party with ulterior motives.  In essence, it puts the client’s needs first - as healthcare should be. 

    • Superbills can be provided upon request for you to submit to insurance companies, though we cannot guarantee the extent of coverage from insurance upon submission.  

    • Of note, we are unable to provide superbills for Medicare clients due to restrictions and regulations. Please reach out if you have questions or concerns.

    • We do accept HSA and FSA as a payment source.  Depending on your insurance provider, some preventative care may not be covered, as the general national care model leans towards a reactionary vs preventative model.

  • Indiana is a direct access state, meaning you can directly access physical therapy without a provider’s referral. 

    • However, if care continues beyond 42 days, per the Indiana Physical Therapy Practice Act, you are required to obtain an order from your provider.  If needed, we are happy to help walk you through the process of obtaining a referral to continue your care.

  • Appointments are set to run approximately 50 minutes at a rate of $185 per appointment.

  • Primarily, please wear what makes you feel comfortable and able to move easily.

    • If we are working on your thigh or hip region, loose fitting shorts would be ideal.

    • If we are working on your shoulder and you typically wear a bra, spaghetti-strap style is preferable to racerback.

  • This will vary based on each individual.  There is no requirement of frequency on our part, but we will make recommendations based on your presentation and goals.  Collaboration on what wellness and preventative care looks like for you is our goal.
