Why Restoring Core Connection is Out of Network—And How It Benefits You
At Restoring Core Connection, I specialize in helping women regain confidence and control over their bodies through skilled pelvic floor therapy.
Many women experience issues like bladder leakage, urgency, diastasis recti, and prolapse—yet these concerns are often dismissed as “just part of aging” or “what happens after having kids.” But the truth is, you don’t have to live with pain, discomfort, frustration, or fear of movement.
Pelvic floor therapy is a non-invasive way to restore strength, function, and return to the activities you love. Whether you want to return to exercise, stop leaking when you sneeze, chase your kiddos around without pain or feel stronger in your daily life–our goal is to help you move with ease and confidence.
One of the most common questions I get is: “Do you take insurance?” The short answer is no, not directly. I can provide a superbill for out of network coverage reimbursement based on your insurance plan. I can also take HSAs and FSAs.
Some may wonder why I choose to be an out of network provider and there’s a very intentional reason behind that. My mission is to provide the highest quality, one-on-one care without the limitations of insurance companies.
Here’s why Restoring Core Connections is out of network—and how it benefits you:
Personalized Quality Care vs. Insurance Limitations
Insurance companies often dictate treatment plans–what types of services they will reimburse for, whether they believe you deserve the treatment or how many treatments they think you need. Mind you, this is typically someone who has no background in medicine and is following a flow sheet!
Being out of network allows me to treat you based on what I find in my thorough evaluation; not what the insurance company tells me I can or can’t treat. Also, because I am not trying to “chase” reimbursement, I can provide one on one 60-90 minute visits so you feel heard and understood and we can find the root cause of your symptoms!
Personalized Patient Goals
In-network providers are often limited by the level of “functioning” their patient can be to receive care. Once a patient is able to do their daily tasks without symptoms, they have to be discharged. But many are not able to do everything they need or want to be able to do!
As an out of network provider, I can treat you as a whole person. If you want to get back to running, heavy lifting or playing a specific sport without leaking, we can address those goals! If you want to be able to hike or rock climb without prolapse symptoms, we can address those goals! We are not just getting you back to “good enough”---we are getting you back to you!
Transparent Pricing vs. Surprise Bills
Many in-network providers have hidden costs, co-pays, deductibles and unexpected bills. You may receive treatment and then get a bill several months later. Also, if you have a high deductible plan, you will be paying out of pocket, regardless of it being an in network provider.
As an out of network provider, you know exactly what you will be paying for your treatments upfront! Most of my patients are seen for 4-8 visits and are given an idea of how many visits they need after the initial evaluation.
I also work with my patients to provide a sliding fee scale or payment plan as needed.
Faster and More Direct Access to Care
Many in-network providers have a long waitlist and it can take time (sometimes weeks to months) to get in for an evaluation and follow up appointments. You may get shuffled between more than one provider or be seen by an assistant for your exercises. You also don’t typically have access to your clinician between appointments.
At my practice, you will always receive direct care from me! I can typically get you in quickly for evaluations and follow up appointments. My patients also have direct communication with me throughout their care through the patient app or even text messages! I think its important to have the ability to ask questions or update me on concerns that affect your care!
Patient Direct Reimbursement Options
As I mentioned earlier, I am able to accept HSAs and FSAs. Depending on your insurance plan, you may also be able to receive direct reimbursement from your insurance company. Some insurance plans reimburse payment up to 80% so it is worth checking into!
Here is a list of questions I recommend asking your insurance company:
What is your deductible?
Will out of network care count towards your deductible? Do you have a separate deductible for OON care?
Have you met any of your deductible?
What percentage of reimbursement is offered?
How do you submit superbills for reimbursement? (mail, fax, email, etc).
Do you require any other documentation (referral, letter of medical necessity, etc)?
Ultimately, when deciding where to receive your specialized, pelvic floor therapy care, receiving the best level of care should be the number one priority! As a pelvic floor therapist, I have taken several advanced practice courses addressing stress urinary incontinence, prolapse and overactive bladder–as well as fertility, pregnancy and postpartum support. You should ask questions about your therapist to make sure they are able to fully handle your care.
