Paragon Osteopathy’s rates are $400 for a 60 minute session or $200 for a 30 minute session. For new patients, we offer a free phone consultation for up to 15 minutes. All supplies (including trigger point therapy balls, exercise bands, k-tape, cold spray, etc.) are typically provided free of charge. Injections are also included as part of the pricing structure, except for the cost of certain kits.

Because our overhead is so low, we only charge about 50% of other insurance-based doctors’ fees. Plus, we spend 3 times as much time directly working with you compared to the average specialist. Remember to call your insurance company to see how much they might reimburse you as well.

Not necessarily. Again, our overhead is incredibly low, allowing us to charge about half of the typical doctor’s fees. Here are several questions to answer before you can make that calculation accurately:

• How much is left in my deductible?

• Do I have a separate out-of-network deductible?

• Can out-of-network costs be applied towards my in-network deductible (combined deductible)?

• When does my insurance year end?

• What is my copay and coinsurance for PT and doctors visits?

• Can other clinics tell me the average number of visits, chance of significant symptom improvement, and costs to expect?

• How much have I spent up to this point to solve this problem, and how much do I expect to spend?

95% of our patients have health insurance, and they choose to seek care with us because their first priority is getting back to the activities they enjoy without pain.

At Paragon Osteopathy, you can be seen sooner, more often, and for longer visits, resulting in more efficient progress towards measurable outcomes that take less time and are often cheaper than in-network care. Don’t forget that you can still submit your claims as well.

At Paragon Osteopathy, you will have an office visit as well as one or more procedures at every session. The E&M (evaluation and management) code for initial visits is usually 99204 or 99205, and follow up visits are either 99214 or 99215.

The CPT (Current Procedural Terminology, copyright American Medical Association) codes for procedures that are commonly used at Paragon Osteopathy are: 98925-98929 osteopathic manipulative treatment 20552-20553 trigger point injections 20604/20606/20611 ultrasound-guided joint injection 76881-76882 diagnostic ultrasound of an extremity 76942 ultrasound guidance for needle placement

Please be aware that most insurance companies will not reimburse for prolotherapy despite Level 1 Evidence supporting its use in knee arthritis.

Dr. Razvi uses cold spray before injecting skin-numbing medicine using the thinnest needles possible. Some people feel nothing but the cold, while others feel a sting and a burn for a few moments, similar to getting a flu shot. Sometimes Dr. Razvi must pass through tendons which unfortunately do not numb well, and he will let you know if that might happen beforehand.

Some people feel sore for several hours to 2 days after the numbing medicine wears off, depending on which kinds of injections were provided.

Wearing loose-fitting clothing or sportswear will make it easy for Dr. Razvi to perform the exam and manipulations (shorts and sleeveless shirts will be available in the clinic in case you forget).

Regarding mental preparation, understand that improving your health is a team effort, and that you may only see low-grade results in the first few visits, especially if your body has been dealing with pain for many years. Dr. Razvi will stay with you as long as you’re seeing at least a little more overall progress at each visit.

Please complete the forms available on our website before your first visit in order to maximize your time with the doctor.

Dr. Razvi is committed to tailoring your treatment as much as possible, so be prepared to discuss what you did or did not like about any previous visits.
