Do I need to see the doctor before going to therapy?
Maryland is a direct access state. Accordingly, most insurances don’t require you to see the doctor first. If your insurance does require a referral, then you will need to obtain one from your primary care doctor first.
Medicare patients will require a signed plan of care from their physician prior to continuing with therapy beyond the initial evaluation. The process with Medicare patients is smoother if they see the doctor first and then schedule therapy.
I have a physical therapy referral, now what?
Will my insurance pay for therapy?
We have a trained staff member to work with your insurance company to determine your physical therapy benefits and coverage. This information will be reviewed with you prior to your first appointment. We do recommend, however, that you review your policy on your own as it pertains to therapy prior to your appointment.
How often do I need to attend therapy?
This will be determined by your evaluating therapist in conjunction with your referring physician. Typically, patients will attend therapy twice per week to obtain maximum benefits to return to prior or a better than prior level of function.
What will my therapy session consist of?
The first session is primarily to evaluate the deficits in range of motion, strength, motor control, as well as any pain or swelling that might be present. The therapist will discuss with you how these issues are affecting your daily function. The therapist will discuss your goals with you as well as the overall diagnosis and prognosis. Typically, some form of treatment is also performed in the first session.
How should I dress for therapy?
We suggest loose clothing as if you were going to the gym. The affected body part should be easily accessible to allow a thorough evaluation.
How long will my session last?
