Along with a new year comes new questions about insurance coverage!

Here's what you need to know about insurance changes going into 2026.⬇

⚫️Most insurance deductibles reset January 1.
This can affect what you pay at the start of the year, even if you’ve already been coming to PT.

⚫️Your Copays may have changed.
Coverage can shift-even if you didn’t switch plans.
It’s common to see differences in January.

⚫️It is key you know your benefits.
Understanding your benefits before your first visit helps avoid surprises.

⚫️We’ll verify your insurance.
We’ll verify your insurance and share an estimated cost before your first appointment. Insurance plans vary, and final amounts are determined by your insurer.

If you still have questions regarding insurance, we’re happy to help!
Give us a call at (828)550-3923 or leave a message on our website at www.smsmpt.com.

Huge shoutout to Ben Stephenson, PT, for crushing a couple of big races lately! 🏃‍♂️🔥

He took 2nd place at The Cherokee 130K Ultra Marathon with 15,000 ft of climbing in 18 hours and then followed it up with a 1st place finish at the Papertown Trail Race 20K in Canton, NC.

We’re proud of the work he puts in for his patients and the effort he brings to the community. Awesome work, Ben! 👏

Pelvic floor issues are more common than most people realize.

1 in 3 women and 1 in 10 men will experience pelvic floor concerns in their lifetime, yet many people aren’t aware that effective treatment is available.

With the addition of Maranda Solesby, PT, to our Sylva pelvic floor team, we’re more equipped than ever to provide compassionate, specialized care for a range of pelvic floor conditions.
