What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery centre rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again.

PE GPCI ranges from 0.956 to 1.041 in Florida. That index is why the same CPT is not one price statewide.
Physical Therapy (Therapeutic Exercise) and how Florida is priced
Florida is split into a handful of Medicare payment localities rather than priced statewide: Miami carries its own high-cost locality, the Fort Lauderdale area is separately priced, and the remainder of the state, from Jacksonville to the Panhandle, shares rest-of-state pricing. That structure means South Florida procedures carry higher Medicare-approved amounts than identical care in Orlando, Tampa, or rural North Florida. The Miami locality in particular ranks among the more expensive in the eastern United States. For a state with this many Medicare beneficiaries, knowing which locality your ZIP falls in is genuinely useful.
Florida has the nation's most Medicare-driven health economy, and its markets are intensely competitive in the big retiree corridors along both coasts. South Florida is known for high utilization and a dense supply of specialists, while inland and Panhandle counties can be thin on subspecialty care. Seasonal residents should note that prices follow where care is delivered, so a winter procedure in Naples prices differently than one back home up north.
This procedure: Therapeutic exercise is the foundational hands-on-guidance code of physical therapy: strength, range-of-motion, and flexibility exercises prescribed and supervised by a PT to restore function after injury or surgery. It is billed in 15-minute units, so a typical session includes two to four units of this code, often mixed with other billed services. Expect active work: you exercise while the therapist coaches, corrects form, and progresses the program visit by visit.
What Is Physical Therapy (Therapeutic Exercise)?
Therapeutic exercise is the foundational hands-on-guidance code of physical therapy: strength, range-of-motion, and flexibility exercises prescribed and supervised by a PT to restore function after injury or surgery. It is billed in 15-minute units, so a typical session includes two to four units of this code, often mixed with other billed services. Expect active work: you exercise while the therapist coaches, corrects form, and progresses the program visit by visit.
What Affects the Cost
- –Billing is per 15-minute unit, so the number of units per visit, not just the number of visits, drives your bill.
- –A full rehab course after surgery commonly spans 10 to 36 visits, making the per-visit total a recurring weekly expense.
- –Hospital-owned therapy clinics attach facility fees that private PT practices do not.
- –Sessions usually combine this code with others like manual therapy (97140), stacking multiple billed lines per visit.
- –High-deductible plan members often find cash-pay PT packages cheaper than their negotiated insurance rates.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.How many units do you typically bill per session, and what will each visit cost me?
- 2.How many PT visits does my plan allow per year, and does that count all therapy types combined?
- 3.Do you need to get authorization after a certain number of visits?
- 4.What is your cash rate per visit, and is it cheaper than my insurance rate before my deductible is met?
- 5.How much of each session will be one-on-one with the therapist versus independent exercise?
