FAQs

Mini Petals is an out-of-network provider. This means your baby's care is never dictated by insurance approval timelines, visit limits, or billing requirements. 

However, your insurance benefits may still work for you. I provide a detailed Superbill after every visit with the CPT and ICD-10 codes you need to submit for potential reimbursement from your insurance company. Many families with PPO plans receive partial or full reimbursement. HSA and FSA cards are also accepted.

Not sure what your plan covers? I'm happy to walk you through what to ask your insurance company before your first visit.

We are always committed to being transparent with our pricing and fees. Click here to view our current Fee Schedule. 

Our fees are fairly based off the rates for the typical CPT codes that are usually charged in a treatment session or during an evaluation, while also staying within market range of neighboring physical therapy clinics offering similar services. We add a fee (already incorporated into the total charges listed) for delivering the convenience of therapy services without having to leave your home! 

No, you do not need a referral from your pediatrician to schedule an evaluation with us. Virginia allows "direct access" for physical therapy for up to 60 consecutive days before requiring authorization from your pediatrician. Having direct access to physical therapy offers significant benefits for your child, as it saves time and money (since there is no need to see primary care first). 

If your child requires services beyond the initial 60 days, Mini Petals will be in touch with your pediatrician to request additional sessions.
