What to Expect & Cost

A first visit with Molly Carlson, DPT is an evaluation — usually 45–60 minutes covering your history, movement and strength testing, and a treatment plan. Follow-up sessions run 30–60 minutes and often involve hands-on therapy plus exercises. With a orthopedic focus, expect care geared toward that area.

With insurance, expect a copay of $20–$75 per visit; plans often cap the number of visits per year. Self-pay rates typically run $75–$150 per session. Most states allow direct access (no referral needed to start), though some insurers still require a physician referral for coverage.

These are general ranges, not Molly Carlson, DPT's published prices. Confirm fees and coverage directly with the practice.

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.
