Empowered Athletics Physical Therapy in Laguna Niguel is different from traditional/ insurance-based physical therapy clinics.

Dr. Kait Ireland in athletic wear is in a sprinting starting position outdoors on a grassy area, with trees and a blue sky in the background.

You will not experience:

  • Long wait times

  • Double (or triple!) booked appointments

  • Ineffective treatments

  • Spending most of your session with an Aide instead of your physical therapist

  • Cookie-cutter exercise programs

  • A provider who doesn’t understand the demands of sports, life, or lifting

  • Surprise bills

Empowered Athletics Physical Therapy is an out-of-network practice by design. The reason for that is it allows me to provide a full hour of 1-on-1, highly personalized care focused on actually solving the problem, not just managing symptoms.

Every session is tailored to the individual athlete and may include a combination of hands-on treatment, movement assessment, strength and performance work, recovery strategies, and a personalized plan based on your goals and response to treatment.

Because I do not work directly with insurance companies, payment is due at the time of service. However, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Depending on your plan, some clients do receive partial reimbursement.

Ways to Pay

  • Pay Direct!

Pay directly out-of-pocket after each session. Package discounts can help you save and/or you can also use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds.

  • Get Reimbursed!

Most major health insurance plans have out-of-network benefits through which you can receive reimbursement for the cost of care. You’ll pay after each session, submit the reimbursement request to your insurance, and receive a check.

  • Use Other Coverage

I accept some Workers’ Compensation plans and personal injury/car accident cases and offer direct billing options.

I really want to work with you on my limited budget. What can we do?

I value being able to provide high quality therapy services to my community. Since I operate outside of insurance-dictated rules, there is flexibility in the options I can use to fit the plan for your care to your available budget and resources. With your commitment to doing more of the work on your own and maintaining open channels of communication, we can discuss how we can accomplish our therapy goals with packages, the ability to split a package cost into 2-3 payments, consolidating care into fewer appointments, making use of online programming, or other options.
