Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Athlete Rise and other medical providers?

At Athlete Rise we focus primarily on helping athletes return to their sport and play the game as long as possible. Our sole purpose is enhance the athletic lives of every player we with interact with. We are strictly 1-1 for the entire treatment/training session. We do not utilize physical therapy techs or assistants. This allows us to provide a more detailed and intimate experience when working with athletes who are in pain and are highly motivated to play their sport pain free.

What can I expect during my Initial Evaluation?

Most importantly we will listen to your story. From there we will perform a thorough body assessment utilizing multiple modes of technology to find out your source of pain and more importantly the cause/s. Client education is foundation to who we are; you will walk away with new information and answers. We will then establish a plan of attack and begin working collectively on resolving the problem.

Do you take my insurance?

At Athlete Rise, we operate as a cash-based practice, which means we do not bill insurance directly. Instead, we prioritize personalized, one-on-one care without the time constraints and treatment limitations that often come with insurance-based models.

However, we’re happy to provide you with a detailed receipt (superbill) that you can submit to your insurance provider for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Every insurance plan is different, so we recommend checking your benefits ahead of time.

Why We Do Not Let Insurance Dictate Our Quality of Care

We’ve made a deliberate choice to stay out-of-network with insurance providers so we can deliver the highest level of care, performance coaching, and rehab support—without compromise.

Insurance companies often dictate:

How many sessions you can have
What treatments are “allowed” or “covered”
How long we can spend with you

That’s not how we believe performance or recovery should be handled.

By working outside the insurance model, we’re able to:

Provide any length of time sessions focused entirely on you
Use the most effective methods without red tape
Empower you to reach your goals faster and more efficiently

In many cases, our approach results in better outcomes with fewer visits—saving you time, money, and frustration.
