I’ve never found a provider of any kind that was self pay only, and I’ve had a lot of ortho issues so a lot of PT. Also my primary and dermatologist all bill my insurance without issue. Maybe look around a bit more? I can’t speak for mental health services, but PT is plentiful and they will bill.

Fortunately, I found a physical therapist no problem after seeing an orthopedic surgeon at HSS. They have an awesome sports rehab. But even the doctors there said that it can be hard to fir PTs who take insurance. For a separate issue, I was specifically looking for a pelvic floor therapist and they were all self-pay. I looked for weeks and gave up. I have to go to Norwalk and had to have my orthopedic doctor find them for me.

General PT may not be so tricky but for specialties like pelvic floor physical therapists, psychiatrists with subspecialties, and MHP, no dice. I’ve never seen anything like this in other places I’ve lived.

That’s so strange. You might need to go into Manhattan with more options? Certainly most of the large systems like NYU or Sinai would have those subspecialties and I can’t imagine they’d be self pay as part of the larger organization. Good luck!

While those are viable options, I should be able to find quality care in my own community. Going into the city isn’t always convenient when I have to work full-time. It would be great to go right after work or during lunch. Again, it’s not that they don’t exist in Stamford, they just do not take insurance.

If you’re looking for pelvic floor PT, that is available through Stamford medical group in the hospital and they do take insurance.

Indigo Wellness has pelvic floor PTs. I know they take insurance for acupuncture. Not sure about all of their services though.
