How much this varies

78 hospitals across 2 states publish prices for this procedure. Because costs, quality, and insurance networks vary by market, pick your state below to see what hospitals in your area charge.

Physical therapy prices vary because PT is billed per session, per procedure code, and often per unit of time — and different practices count those units differently. A 45-minute session at one facility might be billed as two units; the same session at another might be four. Hospital-owned PT departments typically carry more overhead than standalone physical therapy clinics, which shows up in what you pay per session. Insurance coverage for PT is usually limited by visits per year, so the per-visit cost compounds quickly. Before you schedule, ask how many units the practice bills per session, whether a standalone PT clinic in your area participates with your insurance, and whether your plan has a PT visit cap you should know about.
