What makes MOST different than a home health company or other on site therapists that consult with industry?
|
|
MOST provides services to both industrial and non industrial clients all in the convience of our mobile therapy clinic. This is a fully enclosed self sufficient clinic on wheels, with many of the amencftes found in Larger clinics.

1. Is the service available during week ends? |
|
| Although not typically available on weekends, special arrangements can be made. |
|
|
|
| 2. What does the Service cost? |
|
Using our service is no more expensive than traditional outpatient therapy and in many cases less expensive. Keep in mind, when you are being treated by MOST, it is truly 1:1. For both industrial and private patients there is a one-time set up fee of $25.00 (which is waived after the 5th referral). Private patients are billed $125 per hour. Industrial clients are billed according to the workers comp fee schedule for treatment services. |

|
|
| 3. Does MOST accept insurance? |
|
Currently, MOST accepts workers compensation payment. Since this is a unique service, MOST does not currently accept traditional Insurances. However, we provide thorough documentation for patients to submit to their insurance company. Reimbursement to the patient from the insurance company should not be a problem.
|
|
|
|
| 4. Is the service available for all areas in Pennsylvania or is it limited to specific areas? |
|
MOST is focusing its efforts in the York area, however it is willing (and able!) to travel further distances for industrial clients that are interested in higher volume patient treatment and/or programs. Call us and we will talk about the feasibility.

|
5. Do the therapists of MOST discuss treatments with the patient's or company physician before starting the treatment? |
|
Due to a new law in PA, qualified PT's can evaluate and treat a patient for 30 days without a physician's, prescription. Although the MOST PT is qualified to do this, he will contact the patient's physician is he is requested to do so by the patient, employer, or insurance company, or if in his professional judgment, it is in the patient's best interest. Of course, the patient's physician will also be contacted as required by the laws governing the practice of Physical therapy in PA. MOST will do what YOU, the client, or the law requests. |
