Hello, Chicago! Luna is Officially Here to Serve You

What is Luna?

Luna is an on-demand, physical therapy service. We are re-imagining the patient and physical therapist experience by providing state-of-the-art, on-demand care to patients in need. Our platform makes it easy to schedule an appointment, get matched with an exceptional physical therapist, and receive care on your schedule in your home, gym, or office.

Why Chicago, You Ask? 

After successfully serving the Bay Area since the summer of 2018 and more recently other West Coast regions—Los Angeles, Orange County, and Seattle—we’re excited to spread physical therapy innovation to the Midwest! As one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States and its central location, Chicago is the ideal launch point for Luna in the Midwest. 

From biking along the Lakefront Trail to hiking in Indiana Dunes National Park, we admire the fact that Windy City residents love to be on the move. We’re here to help the citizens of Chicagoland recover, get well, and continue to live life to the fullest. And with traffic being a major concern for Chicago residents, we are thrilled to offer a more convenient way to access quality care.

Here are just a few fun facts about Chicago that drew us to the area: 

• With more than 9.5 million people living in Chicagoland, it’s the third-largest metropolitan area in the U.S. 
• Illinois is home to seven accredited PT programs, including Northwestern University in the Chicago suburb of Evanston.
• Healthcare is hot here, with more than 26,000 healthcare-related companies and more than 600,000 healthcare-related workers.
• Great location! With 22 miles of coastline to enjoy and a deluxe transit system, great recreation just steps away.

Why Luna?

“We’ve received great feedback and lots of interest from the physical therapists in Chicago,” says Luna Head of Therapist Network Development, Khanh Pham. “They’re excited to join something new; they’ve never seen anything like it. They’re also thrilled to treat a diverse patient population and set their own schedule.” 

Physical therapists love Luna because it gives them the chance to own their career. As a Luna PT, you’ll:

• Work when you want. You set your own schedule, and Luna handles the booking, billing, and patient marketing.
• Treat engaged patients. This is not traditional home health. You get to work with patients who are motivated, ambulatory, and who have outpatient needs.
• See the clinical impact. You spend 45-55 minutes of each appointment with your patient, and see them for their entire course of care.

What’s more, Luna works with major insurance providers such as Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Cigna, Medicare, United Healthcare, Humana, and more.

Whether you’re a patient looking to receive physical therapy treatment in your home, a physical therapist ready to own your career, or a physician looking for better physical therapy access and treatment for your patients, Luna is here in the Windy City. Now that we’re open for business in Chicago, the question is where will we go next?!
