Consumer Guidance & Cost Commentary
For the CPT code 97110, representing physical therapy (therapeutic exercise), the facility's negotiated rates range from $27 to $77 across 13 payers, with a median negotiated amount of $28.00. This aligns closely with the Medicare benchmark of $29.06, indicating that the facility's pricing is consistent with the federal government's cost-based baseline. While some commercial payers like UnitedHealthcare show a wider range up to $77, the majority of plans, including Medicare, Vc Hope, and several Kansas-based insurers, cluster around the $27–$28 mark. For patients with high-deductible plans, it is important to note that cash-pay rates are not listed in this report; however, paying out-of-pocket can sometimes result in lower costs if the insurance negotiated rate exceeds the cash price, making it worth asking the hospital directly about self-pay or prompt-pay discounts before scheduling.
