AmeriHealth NJ Physical Therapy in Totowa & Nutley, NJ

In-network physical therapy for AmeriHealth New Jersey members.

Is AmeriHealth New Jersey Accepted Here?

Yes. Expert Rehabilitation Group is an in-network physical therapy provider with AmeriHealth New Jersey at both our Totowa and Nutley, New Jersey clinics.

AmeriHealth New Jersey is a New Jersey–focused carrier serving individuals and employer groups across the state, and AmeriHealth members are welcome at both of our clinics at in-network rates.

What Being In Network Actually Means

Being in network means we have a contracted rate with the carrier, so you pay your plan’s in-network cost share rather than out-of-network rates. It does not mean every service is automatically covered or unlimited — coverage still depends on your individual plan, your deductible, and any visit limits or authorization rules it carries.

We treat orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions exclusively: orthopedic physical therapy, post-surgical rehabilitation, spine care, and injury rehabilitation at our Totowa and Nutley clinics.

AmeriHealth Plan Types

AmeriHealth New Jersey offers HMO, POS, PPO, and EPO products, along with plans sold through the state marketplace. Because the carrier is regionally focused, its networks tend to be built around New Jersey providers, which generally works in your favor when looking for local care.

As with most carriers, the plan structure drives the rules: HMO and POS products are the ones most likely to route you through a primary care physician first.

Do You Need a Referral?

Under New Jersey’s Direct Access law, Dr. Sheldon Shterengarts and Dr. Roger Avecillas can evaluate and treat you without a prescription from another provider.

That is the law. Your insurance contract is separate — some plans still require a referral in order to pay, even though one is not required to treat. Confirming that distinction for your specific plan is part of what we check when we verify your benefits.

AmeriHealth HMO and POS plans commonly require a referral from your primary care physician. PPO and EPO plans usually allow you to come directly to us.

We Verify Your Benefits Before You Start

Before your first visit our bilingual staff contacts your plan directly and confirms your physical therapy benefits — whether a referral is required, how many visits are authorized, and what your copay or deductible responsibility will be. You will know your costs before treatment starts, not after.

Have your member ID card handy and call (973) 221-5236.
