National pricing for 6 physical therapist services with city-level breakdowns.
National Range
$75 – $4,000
Physical therapy is billed per session, with an extended initial evaluation ($150–$300 in-network, $200–$350 cash) and 45–60 minute treatment sessions ($75–$225 depending on setting and payer). Insurance coverage is broadly available through commercial plans, Medicare Part B, Medicaid, workers' comp, and MVA / PIP — patients with insurance typically pay $20–$60 per session as copay or coinsurance after deductible. Cash-pay and out-of-network 'concierge' PT clinics charge $125–$250 for hour-long 1-on-1 sessions and have grown rapidly because of insurance friction. Specialty modalities (dry needling, manual therapy, aquatic) carry $25–$75 premiums. Sports rehab and performance packages are common cash-pay offerings.
