Do I need a
referral from a doctor before I can be treated by a Physical
Therapist?
Maryland is a “direct access” state, meaning
that you may receive physical therapy services without
a physician’s referral. However, your insurance plan
may require that you have a physician referral in order
for physical therapy to be a covered expense. Please check
with your insurance company for coverage requirements.
We do offer treatment on a self-pay basis, if desired.
Do you accept my insurance plan?
We participate in the majority of health insurance plans
including medicare and Worker’s Compensation. Please
contact us prior to your first visit to confirm our participation
in your plan.
Will you bill
my insurance company or do I have to send in for reimbursement?
As a courtesy to our patients, we will submit claims to
your insurance company for physical therapy services rendered.
How much will
it cost to receive physical therapy services?
Reimbursement for physical therapy is based on contractual
agreements with each individual insurance carrier. Your
insurance carrier determines co-pays and co-insurances.
We are considered a “Specialist” for co-pays.
Are all
your therapists licensed?
All of our therapists have over 20 years experience and are licensed to practice
physical therapy in the State of Maryland.
What happens
during my first visit?
Your first visit will be 60-90 minutes long. During your
visit, your physical therapist will obtain a history of your
dysfunction, perform a physical evaluation, and create a
individualized rehabilitation program based on the findings.
You will receive physical therapy treatment on your first
visit.
What should I bring with
me to my first visit?
Please arrive 15 minutes early on your first visit
to fill out any necessary paperwork. Please bring the following
items:
-Referral Slip/Prescription from your medical
doctor (if you have one)
-Your medical insurance card(s)
-Photo ID (ie Driver’s License)
-If accident or worker’s compensation injury,
please bring your claim information, including claim number and adjuster’s
name
Paperwork – Submit your Paperwork (please fill out ahead of time) and your insurance card. [Download paperwork from the Forms page]
Treatment Plan – Your initial treatment plan is developed with input from you, your therapist, and your doctor. This includes how many times per week you will visit, how many weeks you will need therapy, home programs, education and goals. As you progress, your treatment plan may be modified and refined.
What should I wear to my first visit?
Wear comfortable clothing such as you would wear to exercise. If you have a
leg injury, please wear or bring shorts. If you have a shoulder or neck injury,
a tank top or camisole (women) may be helpful. We have gowns, t-shirts, and
shorts if you prefer.
How long will my visits last?
Physical therapy treatments typically last 60-90
minutes, though multiple diagnoses or lower functioning patients may expect to
spend upwards of 2 hours in our office.
How many times will I need to
come for treatment?
Patients are typically seen 1-3 times per week depending
on the type and severity of the injury. Duration of
treatment also varies and is determined on an individual
basis.
May my
children accompany me on my appointments?
Well-behaved children may accompany parents, if necessary. Please
bring books, and quiet self- contained games to help occupy your
children.
