Stephanie believes it is important to build a trusting relationship with her patients, listen to their goals and concerns, and treat each person individually.
Stephanie grew up in North Catasauqua, PA. She went to the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia and graduated with a Master’s of Physical Therapy degree. A few years later, she came to work at Glacial Ridge Health System in May of 2016. Stephanie chose Glacial Ridge Health System because of the slogans “Going the Extra Mile” for others and providing “Heartfelt Care.”
As a physical therapist, Stephanie enjoys meeting new people and helping clients restore strength, mobility, and confidence so they can be active in their homes and community. Her therapy interests are caring for geriatric patients, post-operative patients, people with neurological dysfunction, and providing manual therapy.
Beginning January 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are requiring hospitals and health systems to post their “current, standard charges.”
Hospital charges are the amount a hospital bills an insurer for a service. For most patients, hospitals are reimbursed at a level well below charges. Patients covered by commercial insurance products have negotiated rates with hospitals. Patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid programs have hospital reimbursement rates determined by federal and state governments.
Hospital charges may include bundled procedures, personnel, services and supplies. An example would be room rates that include the space, equipment, nursing personnel and supplies.
When a patient has the opportunity to shop for medical services, he or she should contact his or her own insurance carrier to understand which costs will be covered and which will be the patient’s responsibility.
Patients should contact the hospital directly for any further details.
