Nope! Thankfully, in North Carolina, individuals have direct access to physical therapy services meaning you can see a PT without being referred by your doctor. We will screen you during your initial evaluation and make sure you are appropriate for PT. If needed, we will refer you to a specialized medical provider if more testing is warranted.

In a cash-based treatment model, the physical therapist enters into a contract with the patient to provide "fee for service" physical therapy. The patient pays at the time of service, allowing the therapist to focus attention on providing the best possible service. Individuals may pay for services using cash, a credit card, or FSA/HSA cards. You can think of it the same way services are rendered for a personal training session or when you see a massage therapist.
Documentation for evaluations, treatment visits, and progress notes are performed just like any other physical therapy practice and comply with all legal requirements.
Our pricing is made clear from the beginning; there are no hidden fees and you will not receive surprise bills in the mail.

Sarkisian Pelvic Health & Wellness strives to be a flexible healthcare option catering to unique individual needs. In order to get the most optimal results, it is imperative that you attend all of the recommended appointments as scheduled by your provider.

Cancellation Fees
Greater than 24 hours = no fee
Less than 24 hours = 50% cost of service
No call/no show = 100% cost of service
We understand that emergencies happen. Please call us to discuss your extenuating circumstances. You are encouraged to talk to your healthcare provider about changing an appointment to virtual if you are feeling ill and still able to engage in physical therapy.
