The state of Minnesota allows patients to visit a provider for up to 90 days prior to requiring a referral for physical therapy treatment. Patients do not need a referral for wellness services, however, it is recommended you ask your insurance company how wellness services are covered in advance to avoid surprises.
New patients begin with a free 20 minute phone consultation to discuss your condition, goals and determine if it’s a good fit. Your first appointment is 90 minutes. Laura uses this time to understand your current function and medical history, create a personalized plan of care, provide initial treatment and education. All subsequent visits are 45 minutes.
Out of network means the provider does not have any contracts with insurance companies. This comes with key benefits. Out of network providers are not limited to stipulations including number of visits, what type of treatment you receive, which provider you see, length of treatment process, etc. You and your provider determine the amount of care needed to reclaim a healthy quality of life.
You will be asked for credit card information to confirm your free 20 minute phone consultation. You are welcome to reschedule or cancel your appointment at least 24 hours in advance without penalty.
