Medicare Coverage Explained

Great news for Medicare beneficiaries at Action Potential Lake Charles! Medicare covers 80% of physical therapy services. Patients typically pay only 20% out of pocket. For example, if your therapy session costs $100, Medicare covers $80, leaving you with just a $20 payment. This means you can access essential care with reduced financial stress.

Supplemental Insurance: What You Need to Know

Having supplemental insurance can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. In many cases, such insurance will cover the remaining expenses after Medicare. For instance, if you have a supplemental policy that covers the 20% co-pay, you could end up with no out-of-pocket cost at all. We also provide billing for secondary insurance as a courtesy, making the process easier for you.

Understanding how your Medicare benefits work with supplemental insurance can help you maintain manageable healthcare costs.
