1. What physiotherapy at home charges actually cover
A per-visit charge in Bengaluru typically bundles the clinician's time, portable equipment usage (treatment table, therapy bands, dry-needling kit, cupping tools), a written session note, and follow-up progress tracking via WhatsApp. Nothing beyond the quoted number — unless we agree in writing on additional modalities (portable ultrasound, ESWT rental).

3. Six factors that change your physiotherapy at home charge
- Condition complexity — post-op & neuro rehab need senior clinicians (higher rate).
- Session length — 45 vs. 60 min affects charge.
- Locality distance — outer-perimeter zones add a ₹150 travel component.
- Clinician seniority — 15+ yrs vs. junior BPT.
- Modality — dry needling, cupping and ESWT rental may add costs, quoted in writing.
- Package commitment — a 12- or 24-visit pack drops per-visit rate by ~20 %.
4. Package vs. pay-per-visit — the maths
| Situation | Recommended model | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Acute back pain, 3–4 sessions | Pay-per-visit | You may recover before a package pays back |
| Post-op TKR (12–24 sessions) | 12-visit package | Guaranteed continuity + ~20 % saving |
| Chronic geriatric mobility | 24-visit package | Lower per-visit rate for long-term care |
| Stroke rehab (6–12 months) | 24-visit pack + top-up | Session count is high; lower rate compounds |
5. Insurance reimbursement for home physiotherapy charges
Most Indian health-insurance policies reimburse physiotherapy at home charges when prescribed by a treating consultant. We provide GST invoices, SAC 999319 codes and clinical progress notes to support your claim. See the pillar insurance guide.
6. Hidden-fee checklist — spot bad-actor providers
- Bundled "kit rental" that turns out to be per-session, not one-time.
- Undisclosed per-km travel that appears only on the invoice.
- "Package" that must be paid full upfront without a refund clause.
- Missing GST invoice — your insurance claim will be rejected.
