If you’re an employee or the spouse/dependent of one at a partnered school district, be sure to check your benefits. Your PT or OT visits may be covered at no cost or with a nominal fee, depending on your district’s plan.
*If you’re employed by one of these school districts and have the district’s health plan, let us know when you call to schedule. We’ll ensure that you receive your district’s PT/OT benefits.
Why do these partnerships matter?
As healthcare prices soar, so do the number of school districts self-funding their health insurance.
What does that mean? In essence, the school district becomes the insurance company.
The district retains the premiums and uses them to pay for claims out-of-pocket and fees as they are presented, instead of paying a pre-determined premium to an insurance carrier for a fully funded plan.
How does it save the district money?
Districts that self-fund can coordinate health care for their employees more efficiently and affordably. The district contracts directly with multiple exceptional medical care providers, including physicians, cardiologists, orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. Partnering with high-value, low-cost providers can yield six-figure annual savings for school districts.
School district employees, as well as their spouses, dependents, and retirees, have access to these high-quality providers at a low or no cost to the individual, depending on the terms of the contract.
This model of care encourages employees to seek preventative services and to get help early if an injury does occur.
Advanced Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine is an industry leader in the direct contracting of onsite/near-site physical therapy and occupational therapy care.
What happens to the money saved by becoming a self-funded school district?
The money saved is reinvested in student education, facility needs, or employee cost-of-living increases. It’s a win for the school district and the community.
