How Should I Prepare For My First Appointment?

When you call to have us schedule your first appointment, please have your prescription (if applicable) and insurance card handy. This will allow us to confirm your insurance benefits and give you a coverage estimate.

To bring/keep in mind on your first visit:

  • Bring any case manager or insurance adjuster contact names, phone numbers, and claim numbers in the event of an automobile accident or worker's compensation claim.

  • A prescription (if needed) for physical therapy from your referring physician, ARNP, or PA.

  • Insurance information.

  • Print out the patient forms, fill them out, and bring them with you. If you are unable to do this, please allow for extra time to fill these out upon your arrival.

  • Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete any remaining paperwork, so you can maximize your time in your evaluation.

What Type Of Clothing Should I Wear For My Appointments?

  • Dress comfortably in clothes that allow easy access for the therapist to examine your problem areas.

  • For treatments, loose-fitting clothes that are comfortable for gentle exercises and supportive sneakers are often good choices to wear.

Will My Insurance Cover Treatment?

  • In most cases, insurance will cover a good portion, if not all, of your treatment costs. We understand navigating insurance can be confusing, we will be happy to assist in contacting your insurance company and determining your coverage based on your policy.
