Q:
Do I need to have a doctor's referral to see a physical, occupational or speech therapist?
|
|
A:
You are not required to have a doctor's referral to be treated by a therapist; however, some
insurance companies may require a doctor's order for therapy to be a covered benefit. This information is available
by making a quick call to your insurance company. You can make this call yourself, or we would be happy to help you
with that.

|
Q:
How long will my appointment take?
|
|
A:
Most initial visits take approximately 45 minutes to one hour. Since each situation is different,
your therapist will be able to give you a frequency and length of visit estimate after the initial evaluation.

|
Q:
Does insurance pay for therapy? Are you a provider with my insurance company?
|
|
A:
Most plans have a therapy benefit. We will be happy to check your benefits for you or you can
place a call to your insurance company to check on your policy's benefits. Many times insurance companies will
treat your therapy visit in the same manner as a visit to your doctor. We are providers with most major insurance
companies, but we can verify that with your individual company when you provide us with your insurance information.
We also file your claims for you. Our billing office is always available to answer any questions or concerns you
might have regarding your claims or monthly statement.
