Patient Information - Frequently Asked
Questions
What can I expect on my first visit?
Please arrive 20 minutes prior to your
initial visit in order to complete the
appropriate paperwork. Forms can be
downloaded on this site to save time. Our
office staff will be able to review your
rehabilitation benefits quoted from your
insurance provider. You will then be
evaluated by a physical therapist to assess
your impairments and current function. Based
on this evaluation your treatment plan will
then be discussed with you and you will also
usually be started on a home exercise program.
The initial treatment usually lasts 45
minutes.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Please bring your prescription from your
physician and your insurance card. We can
provide a gown or shorts, but you may bring
your own appropriate clothing if you desire.
Who is involved in my rehabilitation?
Every effort is made to allow you to keep
the same therapist through your
rehabilitation. You may occasionally have
some ancillary staff assist in your
treatment. Your physician will be sent a
copy of your initial evaluation, and
progress notes will be periodically sent to
your doctor to update him / her on your
progress towards your stated goals.
Will my insurance cover the cost of
treatment?
Advantage Physical Therapy accepts most
insurance; however you are responsible to
know your insurance benefits, since this can
vary depending on the plan.

I was referred to Advantage Physical Therapy by my Orthopedic Specialist and a friend. Both my knee and shoulder were worked on and the result, each time, was successful. My questions were answered and motivated me to do my home exercises which helped in the healing process.
In addition the staff is fantastic. They are friendly and create a very relaxing atmosphere.
My experience has been wonderful and I highly recommend Advantage Physical Therapy.--Pam M. |
