Due to its popularity and national scope, HOP-UP-PT administrators get frequent calls from older adults, family members, and physicians to refer an older person into the program. At that point, the HOP-UP-PT administrators will consult our list of approved and certified HOP-UP-PT therapists. We will only be able to refer older adults to you after you are certified, so it is key to become certified and stay certified.
As HOP-UP-PT is billed using conventional rehabilitation codes (e.g. 97000 CPT codes) and traditional payment pathways, most insurance companies cover HOP-UP-PT visits without exception.
