In-Home Physical Therapy in Merritt Island, FL
Merritt Island is a barrier island, and every trip off it crosses water. SR 520 and the Bennett Causeway (SR 528) carry the traffic west to Cocoa and I-95, Courtenay Parkway (SR 3) runs the island north and south, and the Merritt Island Causeway connects east to Cocoa Beach. Bridge approaches are where local crashes cluster, and bridge traffic is also what makes post-crash outpatient therapy so hard to attend.
There is no hospital on the island, so an injured resident is usually treated in Cocoa Beach or on the mainland and then faces a causeway crossing for every rehab appointment. In-home therapy removes the crossing. A licensed DPT treats at the patient's home — a canal home off Courtenay, a condo near the river, or a single-family house in south Merritt Island — for the full plan of care.

How coverage is checked for Merritt Island patients
Brevard County residents hurt in a crash in a Florida-registered vehicle have their care billed to auto insurance. PT Near Me does not bill regular health insurance or Medicare.
Our intake team checks coverage on the first call, before anything is scheduled. To do that we ask for the date of the crash, the auto insurance company involved, any claim number that has been issued, and the name of a treating physician if there is one. If something is missing, we tell you what to ask for instead of leaving you guessing.
Not sure what applies to you? Request a visit and we will walk through it on the phone, or call (813) 308-9809.
