Treatment may include examination, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, manual therapy, mobilization, massage, dry needling, physical agents, education, and other appropriate rehabilitation services.

4. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & INSURANCE
I understand that I am responsible for charges associated with my care, subject to applicable insurance contracts and law.
Insurance verification and billing is provided as a courtesy and is not a guarantee of payment. My insurance may deny or limit payment because of deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, authorization requirements, exclusions, benefit limitations, medical necessity, or other plan provisions.
I am responsible for applicable deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, and amounts not paid by my insurance, except where my responsibility is limited by law or contract.
I am responsible for providing current insurance information and for understanding my insurance benefits. Questions regarding coverage should be directed to my insurance carrier.
TPCPT may provide insurance-based, out-of-network, or direct-pay services depending on my circumstances and insurance plan. If I receive direct-pay services, payment is generally due at the time of service unless another arrangement has been approved in advance.
5. APPOINTMENT & CANCELLATION POLICY
TPCPT requests at least 24 hours' notice when an appointment must be canceled or rescheduled. We have a large number of patients on our waiting list and giving us as much advanced notice as possible allows us the opportunity to offer those patients an earlier appointment, speeding up their recovery.
There will be an $85 fee charged for: Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice; A missed appointment/no-show; or Arrival more than 15 minutes late when the appointment cannot reasonably be completed.
This fee is not an insurance-covered medical service. It is the patient's responsibility.
Repeated late cancellations or no-shows may result in discharge from the practice.
To cancel or reschedule:
Phone/Text: 970-639-1948

Exceptions may be considered based on the circumstances.
