Before Your First Visit
- • Check your visit limit — call your insurer and ask how many PT visits per year are covered and what the copay is.
- • Ask whether you need a referral — even in direct-access states, some plans require one for reimbursement.
- • Wear comfortable clothing — loose clothes and sneakers let you move freely during the evaluation.
- • Bring imaging and referrals — X-ray/MRI reports or a surgeon's notes help the therapist tailor your plan.
- • Confirm the credential — licensed physical therapists hold a DPT (or MPT/BPT) and an active state license.
