Knoxville Spine & Sports Accepts Tricare Health Insurance

All health insurance has some limitations. It’s our goal to give you a good understanding of how insurances, like Tricare Insurance, works. Let’s go ahead and explore your options.

Can Tricare Be Used as a Physical Therapy Health Insurance?

Yes! The plans vary between customers, but you do have this choice.

How Much Will It Cost?

Tricare “cost share” amounts are determined by the plan specifics. Physical Therapy is considered “specialty care”, typically, these amounts range from $20.00 - $40.00. Once the Catastrophic amount is met, all benefits will be paid by Tricare at 100%.

Are There Limitations?

Typically, Tricare does not have visit limitations for Physical Therapy. However, there are occasions where documentation from a primary care and your treating provider are required.

What Should I Do to Determine My Healthcare Costs and Estimates?

If you are concerned with the specific details of your benefits, there are a few options. You can always contact your insurance company and speak to a member representative; they will walk through various services and your policy limitations and maximums. 

If you have made your appointment at least 72 hours in advance with our office staff, you can request to have these details given to you prior to your initial visit after we have verified them. 

Our staff is dedicated to help provide guidance and answers to your questions from the moment you walk in, to the moment you walk out! Contact our front office to get started today!

Does Tricare Cover Physical Therapy?

TRICARE covers physical therapy when administered by licensed professionals, such as the physical therapists at Knoxville Spine and Sports, occupational therapists, nurse practitioners, and podiatrists. The treatment must be medically necessary to improve muscle strength, joint motion, coordination, and endurance. However, TRICARE does not cover certain services, including general exercise programs, maintenance therapy, acupuncture, and services provided by chiropractors or naturopaths.
