A common question you might have is, “Am I covered?"
Well, IPT is happy to say most often, Yes! Integrative Physical Therapy is an approved provider for most insurance companies, PPOs and HMOs.
Please arrive at least 10 – 15 minutes early to your appointment. At the time of your first visit you will be warmly greeted by IPT’s office manager and you can complete the registration process. Our front office staff will outline your benefits when you arrive, as per your insurance contract. Co-pay and deductible amounts are paid at the time of service. You will then be brought into a private room by your physical therapist who will discuss with you your current and past medical history, and then he or she will complete a thorough evaluation.
Your assessment will include measurements of joint motion and stability, muscle strength and flexibility, gait, movement patterns, balance, posture and soft tissue / joint palpation. There will be ample time for you to discuss your concerns and goals. Finally, your therapist will discuss with you a plan of treatment and a portion of your treatment will begin day one.
You can expect to be at your first visit for a total of 60 – 75 minutes. Let the healing begin!
We recommend you bring comfortable, unrestrictive clothing or athletic wear to all your treatments.
But don’t worry if you forget, we have gowns as needed for evaluation and treatment if indicated.
As for footwear, we suggest comfortable, closed-toe shoes – sneakers would be perfect. We’d also recommend against any type of heel.
If you have any questions, please contact us prior to your first appointment.
