The cheapest HMO plan that I market has these visits as $25 copays and then they go up to $40-50. I phoned 2 local PT places and found that a straight Medicare pt pays only $34 for first visit, and then $17 for every following visit! Is this normal in the areas where you market? I lost a prospect because he was undergoing therapy and didn't want to "mess him up". Somebody came up from behind me and put him on Humana PPO. I think that prospect is going to be surprised when he pays $50 per visit to his therapist.:D
 
Boy, do people regret some of these moves. I sold some folks plan N and even lesser coverage Med/Supps due to reimbursement and OOP issues. They were lucky to pass underwriting.
