FAQ’s

Our services may be covered by your insurance provider if you have out-of-network care included in your insurance plan. We are out of network with all insurance plans. Please allow up to 2 business days for insurance verification after submission of this form.

Please note: We do not provide pricing over email or phone. The cost of a plan of care can only be determined after we learn more about your individual needs.

We will verify your insurance to ensure it is not Medicare or Medicaid. After we verify your insurance, you will be invited to schedule a complimentary 15 minute consultation call to briefly introduce yourself so that we can learn if you are a good fit for our practice. At that time, we will discuss pricing.

Thank you for respecting our process and understanding that our goal is to provide thoughtful, personalized, one-on-one care.

We look forward to discussing working together with you!

Appointments, including your initial evaluation in the office, are usually 55 - 60 minutes.

Please wear clothing you feel comfortable moving in. We have some clothing (shorts, t-shirts) in the office if you require a change of clothing. Please bring sneakers or the shoes you regularly walk in if possible.

Our NYC office does not have a lobby. If the door is locked when you arrive, it means we are still with our previous client. At the scheduled time of your appointment, we will welcome you into the treatment area. There is a small bench outside the door for you to sit on if you arrive early.

If you require the restroom in the Union Square office, it is in the main hallway, directly across from the second stairwell door as you approach the office. At your first appointment, we will discuss your care, perform a full-body assessment, and agree on a treatment plan.

Home sessions are sometimes available upon request in the New York Area and are subject to therapist availability.

To schedule home visits in the Minneapolis - St. Paul Metro Area, please contact us at hello@fortunaphysio.com.

We do believe massage can be a useful adjunct to physical therapy depending on your diagnosis, and we are happy to refer you to a massage therapist we work with if you would like to supplement your treatments with massage.
