How do our physical therapists help with head, face and temporomandibular (TMJ) issues?

      Payment and Insurance Information

      Self pay clients pay at the time of service and FPT then provides them a superbill to submit to their HSA plan or insurance carrier for reimbursement. Some insurance carriers may require a doctor’s referral to qualify for reimbursement.

      Our self pay rates are as follows:

      • Initial evaluation: $195
      • Standard follow-up: $125
      • Extended follow-up: $190

      What Our Clients Say

      Mary R.

      Awesome therapists and exercise classes run by a therapist. Their focus is on getting patients well; it is a positive and encouraging environment. They have the best therapists, well worth the drive if you don’t live in the Sacramento area. Personally, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for physical therapy.
