The Top Three Insurance Rules That Made Me Stop Taking Insurance
At Imagine Pelvic Health, we don’t bill insurance — and that’s not an oversight. It’s a decision based on experience. Before opening this practice, I worked in insurance-based settings. I saw how the rules dictated what care could look like and too often, those rules got in the way of helping people heal.
Here are the top three insurance rules that made me stop taking insurance and build a practice that puts your care first:
1. “Only Treat the Area We Have a Code For”
In an insurance-based system, if the referral is for pelvic floor dysfunction, the expectation is that treatment stays in the pelvic region — even if that’s not the full story.
But the body doesn’t work in isolated pieces. If your pelvic pain is coming from your hips, your old ankle injury, or postural imbalances — we need to treat that, too.
At Imagine Pelvic Health, we can. We look at the whole picture and address the actual source of your symptoms, not just what’s covered.
2. “You Have 6 Visits. Make It Work.”
Insurance companies often decide how many sessions are “appropriate” for a condition, based on a general diagnosis — not your unique goals, history, or progress.
That might mean rushing care, discharging before you're ready, or skipping key steps in your recovery.
Here, we don’t limit your care to a number on a spreadsheet. We space your sessions intentionally, check in regularly, and collaborate on when you’re ready to end care — not when your visits run out.
3. “Prove They’re Improving Every Session — or Stop.”
Insurance requires constant documentation of measurable progress. And if it’s not showing up fast enough, coverage ends.
Here’s the problem: healing isn’t always linear. Sometimes you’re learning, processing, or even just stabilizing between sessions. That is progress — but it doesn’t always look good on a form.
At IPH, we focus on your long-term results, not just short-term boxes. You’re not under pressure to “perform” each visit. You get space to heal at a pace that works for your body.
What That Means for You
By stepping outside of the insurance system, we’re able to offer care that’s:
Whole-body focused
Flexible in timing
Driven by your actual needs — not billing codes
It means longer appointments, full attention, no surprise billing, and the freedom to treat you — not just a diagnosis. If you’ve tried pelvic floor therapy before and felt rushed, limited, or unheard… this is different.
Get started with us today by scheduling an evaluation at your preferred location (or via telehealth or for a home session!)
