Pricing and FAQ's

Do I need a physician referral to start physical therapy?

​

No. Blee Elite Sports Therapy is a licensed direct access physical therapy provider in Northern Virginia, which means you can begin treatment without a physician referral. If you plan to submit sessions to your insurance for out-of-network physical therapy reimbursement, we recommend checking your specific policy requirements in advance.

​

What is the cost per session and do you bill insurance?

​

Blee Elite Sports Therapy (BEST) is a privately owned, cash-based physical therapy clinic in Northern Virginia. We do not directly bill insurance. Instead, we provide a detailed superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

• One-on-one physical therapy sessions: $200 per visit

• Package pricing available

• Dry Needling or Blood Flow Restriction Therapy (30-minute sessions): $75

Payment is required at the time of service. Payments can be made through the patient portal using a credit card or via personal check at your visit. Any reimbursement is paid directly to you by your insurance provider.

​

Why doesn’t Blee Elite Sports Therapy accept insurance?

​

By remaining a non-insurance physical therapy clinic, we are able to provide a level of care that traditional insurance-based clinics often cannot. Insurance reimbursement rates typically require clinics to treat multiple patients per hour, limit one-on-one time to 15-30 minutes, and rely heavily on support staff.

​

At BEST, every session is fully individualized and one-on-one with your physical therapist, allowing us to focus entirely on your movement, recovery, and performance without rushing or splitting attention.

​

How does this compare to traditional physical therapy clinics?

​

While the upfront cost may look different, this approach is often more cost-effective in the long run. Many insurance-based physical therapy plans include:

• Copays of $20-50 per visit

• High deductibles often ranging from $5,000 to $10,000

• Short treatment times with limited therapist interaction

Patients frequently end up paying well over $200 per visit for 15-30 minutes of care. At BEST, you receive longer sessions, direct access to your therapist, and a treatment plan designed for faster, more meaningful results.

​

Are you a Medicare Provider? 

​

We are not a Medicare provider, so Medicare does not reimburse physical therapy services performed at Blee Elite Sports Therapy. However, we are still able to work with Medicare patients under a wellness or maintenance care model, though these services are not eligible for reimbursement.

​

Do you offer physical therapy for maintenance, wellness, or general health?

​

Yes! We utilize Functional Manual Therapy (FMT), a holistic, full-body approach designed to reduce pain, restore movement, and improve overall function. FMT is effective not only for injury rehabilitation but also for:

• Improving movement quality

• Addressing postural issues

• Enhancing athletic performance

• Supporting long-term health and mobility

Programs are fully customized based on your goals, whether that’s daily function or high-level performance.

 

Do you provide exercise instruction and sports performance consultations?

​

Yes! As a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, BEST offers sports performance physical therapy and training consultations for athletes of all levels. These sessions focus on:

• Mobility and movement efficiency

• Strength and stability development

• Injury prevention strategies

This service is ideal for athletes looking to stay healthy, improve performance, and get more out of their training.
