Financial Assistance Available

Results Physiotherapy Together with Ascension Saint Thomas has partnered with Project Access Nashville Specialty Care (PANSC) (www.projectaccessnashville.com) to administer our Financial Assistance and Charity Care program.

Project Access Nashville Specialty Care is a program under the leadership of the Nashville Academy of Medicine and the Medical Foundation of Nashville which provides a coordinated system of care to low-income, uninsured residents of middle Tennessee through a partnership with the Metro Nashville Health Department and the Safety Net Consortium of Middle Tennessee. Furthermore, PANSC has the resources and knowledge of federal or state funded programs such as Medicare, VA services or Medicaid in order to screen patients for insurance eligibility.

PANSC has established a referral process that links patients to a network of community-based medical clinics, physician specialists, collaborating hospitals, and ancillary partners including Results Physiotherapy together with Ascension therapy clinics.

PANSC will be responsible for processing and approving all charity care applicants that are requesting rehabilitation based services in our clinics. These services include PT, OT and Speech Therapy for traditional orthopedic patients as well as those requiring neurologic, developmental or lymphedema care.
