Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does CCPM&R accept insurance?
A. We are not accepting insurance at this time. All treatments will be self-pay (also known as "out-of-pocket" or cash payments). We accept credit card, check, and cash. Please continue to check back as we are trying to become a provider with several insurance companies.
If you do have insurance, you might be able to submit the claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement. CCPM&R would be considered an "out-of-network" provider.

A. Yes, there is the willingness of CCPM&R to see patients as young as infants for the services CCPM&R can provide.
Q. Where are patients of CCPM&R seen?
A. We have many satellite clinic sites to see patients of the Quad Cities region. We spend a day at a given site. We have an office in Eldridge, Iowa, used for paperwork, but it is not a clinic space. In other words, we do not see patients at an office site in Eldridge.
