Kamin Physical Therapy...The Choice for Physical Therapy in Chicago
Dear Valued Patients,
We hope that everyone is staying healthy and safe in these unprecedented times. As you probably know, Kamin Physical Therapy made the difficult decision to temporarily close its clinics on March 19, 2020 as a precautionary measure with the growing concern around COVID-19. However, we are excited to offer a new way to provide you with the care you need from the comfort of your own home. We are offering virtual physical therapy sessions either by Telehealth or E-Visits. These options depend on your insurance coverage and/or preference.
What is Telehealth?
• A face-to-face physical therapy evaluation or treatment session via a secure (HIPAA compliant) video conferencing system.
• 30 minute evaluation or treatment session for $75. Payment due at time of service. Payment can be made by credit card or Chase Quick Pay/Zelle to info@kaminpt.com
• Kamin Physical Therapy will send your claim to insurance.
