Physical therapy evaluation cost — FAQ

How much does Physical therapy evaluation cost without insurance?

The median cash (self-pay) price across 1816 US hospitals is $233. Most hospitals fall between $99 and $625. Prices vary widely between hospitals, so it pays to compare before you book.

What does Medicare pay for Physical therapy evaluation?

Medicare pays about $98. We show this as a benchmark — a fair cash price is often within a few multiples of the Medicare rate.

Why do Physical therapy evaluation prices vary between hospitals?

Hospitals set their own chargemaster and cash prices and negotiate different rates with each insurer, so two hospitals in the same area can charge very differently for the same service.

Is the cash price lower than using insurance?

Sometimes. If you are uninsured or have a high deductible, the cash/self-pay price can be lower than the insurer-negotiated rate — ask the hospital for both.
