Frequently Asked Questions

View all FAQs

What is outpatient physical therapy?

Outpatient physical therapy is a type of rehabilitation and treatment provided in a clinic or outpatient facility, where patients receive therapy services without being admitted to a hospital. It involves various therapeutic techniques, exercises, and modalities to address musculoskeletal injuries, pain, mobility issues, and other conditions.

How can outpatient physical therapy benefit me?

Outpatient physical therapy offers a range of benefits, including pain relief, improved mobility, increased strength and flexibility, enhanced balance and coordination, injury prevention, and overall improvement in quality of life. It is designed to help you recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and regain function and independence.

Do I need a referral from a doctor to receive outpatient physical therapy?

That depends. Each state has laws that govern access to physical therapy services. Your insurance may also have rules regarding referrals for therapy. Typically, our physical therapists will be able to provide a screen or an evaluation without a physician referral but may need to work with your physician to provide treatment. Please contact your local LHMPTI clinic and our team will help to navigate the referral process, if one is needed.

How do I pay for therapy services?

All out-of-pocket obligations (i.e., copay, coinsurance, deductible) are due at time of service. Payments can be made using a credit card, Health Savings Account (HSA) or by check. LHM Physical Therapy does not accept cash payments. If you receive a statement at the conclusion of therapy, you have several options to pay your outstanding balance. You can make a payment directly at the clinic, mail your payment with the statement coupon, or pay online through the Patient Portal by selecting “Pay My Bill” in the Patients drop-down menu.

What do I need before my first visit?

Once you are registered as a patient, you will be provided a secure login and password to the LHM Patient Portal. Please complete the assigned paperwork, medical history and functional questionnaire. Completing this information ahead of your appointment will help your therapist better understand the reason for your visit and allow them to tailor the evaluation to your specific needs.

Which insurance plans does your company participate with?

LHMPTI participates with most major insurance carriers, including Medicare and Medicaid. Coverage for physical therapy services varies based on your specific insurance plan and benefit package, and many plans include out-of-pocket costs such as copays, coinsurance, or deductibles.

Our team is happy to verify your insurance benefits prior to beginning treatment. We will do our best to help you understand your estimated out-of-pocket responsibility and avoid any unanticipated expenses.

Individuals are also encouraged to contact their insurance carrier directly to confirm coverage details, understand plan limitations, and review any cost-sharing responsibilities associated with their benefits.
