Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Hackensack residents considering cash-based physical therapy.
What is cash-based physical therapy?
Cash-based physical therapy means you pay directly for your sessions — no insurance middleman, no limits on session length or frequency. At Ethos PT, every visit is 60 minutes, one-on-one with your DPT. You get the full attention your care deserves, not a 20-minute slot shared with three other patients.
Do you accept insurance?
Ethos PT is a self-pay clinic. We do not bill insurance directly. If you have out-of-network PT benefits, we can provide a superbill for possible reimbursement through your plan. OON claims can also be submitted as a courtesy through Reimbursify at no cost to you. HSA and FSA are accepted.
How is this different from other PT clinics in Hackensack?
Most PT clinics run multiple patients at once, with aides handling a large portion of the session. At Ethos, every minute of every session is you and your DPT — no handoffs, no shortcuts. We also hold a board certification in orthopedic clinical specialization (OCS), which goes beyond a standard DPT credential and reflects advanced clinical expertise.
What types of patients do you see?
We primarily work with active adults — gym-goers, runners, pickleball players, and people who want to stay fit and pain-free. If you're dealing with a nagging injury, recovering from surgery, or frustrated that prior care hasn't solved the problem, this is the right fit. We also serve busy professionals and parents who need to stay active and can't afford to be sidelined.
Where are you located?
Ethos Physical Therapy is located at 873 Main St Suite 2S in Hackensack, NJ 07601 — a few blocks off Route 4 in Bergen County. We're easy to reach from across the surrounding area, Monday through Friday from 7AM to 8PM.
