If you're an athlete, if you're sidelined with an injury feeling sorry for yourself, do yourself a favor and visit these guys; you won't regret it.”
- Jasmine, Physical Therapy Patient at Alpha Project, (Gaitherburg MD Clinic)
Patient Success Stories
"I was looking for a physical therapist that would not only get me running again but would help me because I keep getting injured. APP&P did detailed analysis of where I was weak and gave me exercises to strengthen those areas. If you’re a runner who keeps getting injured, I recommend booking with these guys and start fixing yourself for the long term. The best physical therapy advice I have received!!!"
Physical Therapy Customer (Gaithersburg Clinic)
"Dr. Silver and the whole team at Alpha Project Phyzio provided a wonderful experience. From our first conversation, through the following weeks of rehab, they were first rate. They are a new component in my long term wellness plan. Job well done!"
Physical Therapy Customer (Frederick Clinic)
"The progress I made with pelvic floor physical therapy was remarkable. Over time, my weak stream gradually improved, resulting in a stronger and more consistent flow. The urgency and frequency issues that used to dictate my daily routine are now significantly reduced. Moreover, the embarrassing problem of leakage has become a thing of the past, thanks to the APP&P’s targeted approach."

Cash-based physical therapy means that we are out of network with all insurance companies and do not directly bill through insurance (thought you may be eligible for reimbursement directly from your insurance company). Our patients pay us directly each visit for their 1-on-1, personalized physical therapy session. This allows us to focus all of our attention on the patient and perform treatments to focus on patient goals without being dictated by insurance rules and regulations.
-
Insurance companies in the United States are continually cutting reimbursement rates for rehabilitation services and dictating how clinicians treat patients. With this decline in reimbursement, many clinics are forced to treat multiple patients in the hour (this means that therapists are seeing 4+ patients at the same time) and lower patient care standards in order to make ends meet. These clinics rotate patients in and use assistants and techs to complete treatments. Patients do not receive the individualized care they need, and are encouraged to go through exercises with little to no supervision. With a cash based practice, we are able to decide how we want to treat patients as we are not regulated by the insurance companies. This allows us to provide the highest quality care for our patients, while keeping them 1-on-1 with their doctor of physical therapy for the entire hour, every visit. This increase in quality results in our patients getting better, faster than traditional insurance based physical therapy. We typically see our patients only one time per week, saving you valuable time; meaning you aren’t leaving work early, commuting to and from the clinic, and spending an hour here 3 times each week.
In short, we are out of network with insurance companies because it allows us to actually spend the time with you, 1 on 1, and to actually solve your problem. Our clients get better faster, receive better quality care, and will be given the time of day to solve their problem for good.

You can certainly use your out of network insurance benefits. You can also use your health savings account (HSA) or flex spending account (FSA). While we do collect our fees directly from our clients, we provide an itemized superbill to submit to his or her insurance company. By submitting your receipt, you may be able to recover a percentage of the cost you pay upfront (typically 60-80%) from your insurance company, depending on your "out of network" coverage.
