Frequently Asked Questions
• Do I need a prescription for physical therapy?
A prescription is required for treatment. In Michigan, a physical therapist can perform an evaluation without a prescription but needs a referral from your physician in order to treat your condition.
• Will my insurance cover physical therapy?
It is important for you to be aware of what physical therapy coverage your insurance plan provides. You can contact your insurance provider and ask for your general physical therapy benefit. It is usually expressed as a number of visits, a percentage of coverage, and/or a copay. If they ask for specific codes (diagnostic codes or treatment codes), let them know you simply need to know your general physical therapy benefit. Mountain Town Rehab is an independent physical therapy clinic.
• Does Mountain Town Rehab participate with my insurance?
Many insurance plans do include coverage for physical therapy. You will be responsible for any co-payments and/or deductible or any professional services rendered that are not payable by your insurance company. We participate with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, McLaren Health Advantage, Priority Health, AETNA, and most United Healthcare policies. We also participate with the Cofinity Network, (formerly PPOM). Your "plan" may have a different name, but the Cofinity Network may be listed on your card. If you do not see your insurance company here, please call us, or your insurance company directly, to discuss coverage options.
• What do I need to bring for my first visit?
Your initial paperwork is available on this website, under the tab Patient Info. You can print it, fill it out and bring it with you for your first appointment. If this is not convenient for you, you can arrive 15 minutes early for your appointment and you will have time to complete your paperwork in the clinic before your therapist is ready for you. You will also need to bring the referral for physical therapy from your doctor, as well as your insurance card.
• What should I expect at my first visit?
Your therapist will see you for your initial evaluation which will take approximately an hour. Your therapist will ask about your medical history, your current condition, your pain and limitations and how this impacts your daily activities. Your therapist will discuss your medications, tests, and procedures related to your current condition. They will discuss your goals for physical therapy. Treatment is usually initiated at this time.
• What should I wear to therapy?
You should wear loose fitting clothes that allow access to the area requiring treatment; shorts if you have a knee injury, a tank top if you need shoulder treatment, and/or a loose fitting shirt and pants if the low back area will be treated. Your comfort is very important.
• How long is each session?
Your initial evaluation will last approximately an hour and your subsequent treatments will usually last from 45-60 minutes.
• How do I pay my copay?
You will be billed after your insurance company has paid their portion. You will be responsible for any co-payments and/or deductible or any professional services rendered that are not payable by your insurance company.
