Insurance Info

Let’s face it, insurance information can be quite the doozy to figure out on your own, especially when you are trying to decipher whether or not your physical therapy treatment is covered under your policy. At Apex Physical Therapy, we accept a variety of different health insurance plans, and we are here to help you navigate the world of claims and benefits.

We understand that insurance can be complicated, so as a courtesy, we will check your health benefits before you arrive to see if there will be a copay, deductible, or coinsurance for treatment services.

Do you have any of the insurance policies listed below? We have included the majority of the major plans for which we have in-network coverage; however, this is not an exhaustive list! Please call our office at (219) 525-4815 to confirm other insurance plans.

Physical Therapy Could Have the Answer to Your Questions

Have you discovered that you are unable or unwilling to do the things you normally enjoy due to nagging constant pain? We all deserve to feel our best in order to live our lives to the fullest! Apex Physical Therapy will help you achieve your desired levels of health and wellness while also reducing your discomfort. Movement is essential for leading a healthy lifestyle, get started today by clicking here to request an appointment with our Merrillville or Valparaiso clinic!

What Is Physical Therapy?

A physical therapist is a movement specialist who has received training in analyzing mobility issues with walking, running, jumping, bending, stretching, and nearly every other type of physical activity.

Physical therapy is divided into three levels: pain relief, strengthening, and functional integration. Patients strengthen their muscles and joints, improve their balance, build endurance, and experience pain relief through in-office sessions and at-home exercises – all without the unwanted harmful risks of drugs or surgery!

Our Merrillville and Valparaiso physical therapists will be as committed to your recovery as you are, and will encourage you to achieve all of the objectives you set for yourself.

Physical Therapy Can Help You Reach Your Goals

Physical exercise is the most difficult habit to establish, especially if you are living with chronic pain. Some people suppress their symptoms with anti-inflammatory or pain-relieving medications, while others, sadly, give up on the idea of being active entirely.

If the thought of going out and exercising with your aches and pains makes you feel uneasy, know that you are not alone. However, there is a simpler solution to achieving the active lifestyle you desire.

With the help of a Merrillville or Valparaiso physical therapist, you can regain your pain-free, active lifestyle and return to your favorite activities. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle takes effort, but it becomes much easier once you get into a routine.
