DO YOU TAKE MY INSURANCE?

At THE METHOD, we are considered “out-of-network” providers. This allows us to treat the human in front of us and not the diagnostic code. Unfortunately, the current in-network model of physical therapy does not allow for the individual attention and detailed treatment that is provided by our Doctors of Physical Therapy at THE METHOD. Here you will receive the high end, one-on-one services that you deserve. We do accept FSA/HSA.

How do I know if I have out of network coverage?

We are in network with mostYou can check your out of network benefits using this benefits checker.

DO I NEED A PRESCRIPTION OR REFERRAL FROM MY DOCTOR?

NO! In the state of Massachusetts we have direct access, meaning you can see a physical therapist directly. Our Doctor’s advanced training allows them to diagnose and treat based on impairments but also the knowledge to refer to a licensed medical practitioner if the condition lies outside their scope of physical therapy practice.

What is our Cancellation and No Show Policy?

Please provide 24 hour notice if you need to cancel your appointment. There will be a fee for cancellations and no-shows under 24 hours. Extenuating circumstances and special situations will be reviewed on an individual basis.

WHERE ARE SESSIONS CONDUCTED?

THE METHOD has 3 locations:
· 321 Columbus Ave, South End
· 90-92 Main Street - Charlestown
· 62 Hilltop Street Dorchester, Dorchester

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FOR MY FIRST VISIT?

Your first visit will include a thorough full body evaluation, movement assessment, hands on treatment and education for you to gain a better understanding of your body and how you move. During this time, our Doctors will get a better understanding of you as a person and your personal goals.

HOW ABOUT FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENTS?

Follow up appointments will be based on findings during your initial evaluation. Because of our cash model, we are awarded the flexibility to cater to your individual needs and goals. Sessions will include a combination of manual therapy body work, corrective exercises and strategies for home management. Most sessions are 1x/wk but will be discussed with your provider based on your goals.
