Our Facility

RiteCare urgent care center participates with Medicare and other plans. We are a network provider for a number of HMO, PPO, and POS plans, as well as part of several workers’ compensation networks. The rate at which these managed care plans pay for our services depends on the coverage of the individual patient’s health insurance policy.

Once the coverage information is obtained and verified, it is explained to our patients in detail so that each patient knows exactly how much of their treatment will be covered by their insurance carrier and what the co-pay amount for each visit is.

2. WHY IS PHYSICAL THERAPY SO IMPORTANT?

There are two main reasons why physical therapy is important. First and foremost, it helps to reduce or eliminate pain, as well as restore muscle and joint function.

Not only you can safely do physical therapy, partaking in it will also help to reduce, or even eliminate, symptoms of vertigo.

5. HOW MANY DAYS A WEEK DO YOU GO TO PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Typically, a physician recommends physical therapy 2 to 3 times per week.
