Physical Therapists

We understand that the recommended equipment for a patient's condition may fall outside of their insurance coverage. In the effort to provide the best, and most achievable care for our patients, Whitley Home Medical staff will be available to advise on specific equipment / services that each patient's insurance will provide as well as inform on which diagnoses qualify for which chairs.
