I started PT today and the office "visit" was $135. She wants me to get the biofeedback unit and when I called last week, the supplier told me they would check the insurance and get back to me. Well even though my insurance covers all but $10 of the elmiron each month and 80% of the office visits, it will not pay for me to have my own unit for use at home. I called the supplier back and asked what the cost to me would be. She said they would give me a 20% discount over the list price but it would still cost almost $600. I can do the PT at home for $600, my cost, or the insurance company pays $135 each visit, for many visits. Seems that it would be cheaper to buy the unit for me. This seems like a no-brainer to me at significantly more cost to the insurance company. How much sense does that make?
