United Health Care (all plans)
Meridian Healthcare of Michigan
Humana Medicare (PPO/POS/HMO/PFFS)
Tricare East (Participating Out-of-Network)

Expert Care PT also offers self-pay treatment. This means that Dr. Komarraju is able to see you immediately when you need care without waiting for a referral from your physician.

If you have insurance, you may be eligible for reimbursement from your insurance company by submitting your invoice from Expert Care PT to insurance as an out-of-network treatment. Please contact your insurance company to learn more.

Why choose self-pay treatment?

By offering self-pay treatment, Dr. Komarraju is considered an out-of-network provider and Expert Care PT cannot directly bill your insurance.

However, a self-pay practice offers many benefits:

- No referral required for treatment.
- Straightforward and transparent pricing. No surprises!
- Lower out-of-pocket costs for patients with high-deductible plans.
- Receive treatment for as long as you need it. No restrictions.
- Bill your insurance for out-of-network treatment using your invoice from Expert Care PT.

Please wear comfortable clothing to your appointment. Athletic clothing is always a great choice!
