However, the Mobility Matters Foundation strives to provide services to rural communities and underserved populations in North Carolina.
We are aware that there are individuals who continue to face constraints when accessing a traditional seating clinic (due to a lack of transportation, no telehealth benefits, geographic barriers, insurance constraints, or living in another state). We are mindful that such cases still require a skilled therapist to perform a seating and mobility evaluation. For these situations, Mobility Matters Foundation offers our services for a collected fee of $100 at the time of your appointment to cover therapist and operational fees.
Prior to scheduling, the Mobility Matters Foundation board must grant approval for the evaluation to ensure compliance with OT state licensure guidelines. The fee may be paid by any community member or the patient. Circumstantial financial assistance may be available.
