Frequently Asked Questions
What does cash-based physical therapy mean?
Cash-based physical therapy means that we are out of network with all insurance companies and do not directly bill through insurance. 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.
Samson Strength & Performance Physical Therapy does not accept health insurance at all?
No, we do not directly accept health insurance and are considered an out of network provider. At the end of each visit, the patient pays us for the session; however, if the patient contacts his/her health insurance company and learns that he/she has out-of-network benefits, then we are able to supply a receipt of payment to submit to his/her insurance company. By submitting your receipt, you may be able to recover a percentage of the cost you pay upfront from your insurance company.
Does cash-based mean I can only pay with cash?
Our patients are able to pay with cash if they so choose but we also accept major credit and debit cards as well as personal checks.

Why cash-based physical therapy?
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 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 1-on-1 care for our patients over the course of the one hour treatment session with the same physical therapist every time.
Are you able to see patients with Medicare Part B?
Since Medicare guidelines dictate that those covered under Medicare Part B must see a Medicare provider for physical therapy services, we are unable to treat individuals with Medicare insurance for physical therapy services; however, we ARE able to see patients for services that are not provided by Medicare such as health, fitness and wellness. This means we can see patients for personal training and wellness activities.
Do I have to be a member of CrossFit Total Control to be a patient with Samson Strength & Performance Physical Therapy?
Our main office location is inside CrossFit Total Control at 1074 10th Avenue South, Jacksonville Beach, Florida 32250; however, our patients do not have to be a member of Total Control in order to participate in physical therapy services. Our location inside of the gym allows for us to make use of the vast array of equipment available as well as easily transition patients to and from CrossFit, weightlifting and other sports.
