What should I do to prepare for my first PT appointment?

• Please arrive 20 minutes early for your first appointment.
• Bring a copy of your insurance card and a photo ID with you.
• Please call our office to verify your insurance benefits beforehand.
• Have in writing key past medical history, previous treatments, current medications, and other important information.
• It’s a good idea to make a list of questions that you have to discuss on your first visit.

Did You Know You Can See a Physical Therapist Without a Referral?

Not everyone knows you can go directly to your physical therapist if you are dealing with pain or an injury. It doesn’t matter if you’re dealing with an old or new problem. In all 50 states, you can schedule a visit with one of our therapists to get help sooner than later.

In the medical community, Direct Access is the ability to see a physical therapist when you want to without getting permission from your physician or medical practitioner.

Physical therapists routinely assess and treat patients without a physician’s recommendation. You can call us directly at Amber Hill Therapy Centers in Frederick, Damascus, Jefferson, Thurmont, Monrovia, or New Market, MD, and we’ll schedule your appointment today! Direct Access eliminates wasting your time for the appointment to see a doctor, then the delays in getting a referral to physical therapy and waiting for an appointment to see the therapist.

Another benefit of seeing your physical therapist immediately is the cost savings. Beyond the cost of copayments to see your physician or being sent to a specialist paying another copay and finally getting sent to physical therapy, you can save money and see our team directly.

Direct Access is all about having the freedom to make your own decisions without being bound by outdated rules. It allows you to be in charge of your healthcare so you can focus on your recovery instead of waiting for another appointment to get you the help you need today!

At Amber Hill Therapy Centers there are a wide variety of different health plans that we accept.

We know that insurance can be confusing. As a courtesy to our patients, we will check your health benefits before you arrive to determine whether there will be a copay, deductible, or coinsurance for treatment services. We will also inform you if your insurance requires a script or a primary care referral.

Do you have any of these insurance plans? We’ve included most of the major plans we’re in-network with; however, this isn’t an all-inclusive list! Please contact the office to verify other insurance plans.

• Medicare
• Medicaid
• United Healthcare
• Humana Military-Tricare
• Coventry
• Cigna
• Blue Cross Blue Shield
• Aetna
