The Maverick Physiotherapy team is committed to finding the root cause of your condition and developing a treatment plan that addresses your needs and helps you achieve your goals.

Preparing for your first appointment at Maverick Physiotherapy

Before your visit, make a list of questions you’d like to ask during your first meeting and call our office ahead of time to verify your insurance benefits at 612-642-1847.

You will register at the front desk when you arrive at our office. We’ll ask for your insurance information and any other paperwork you may have brought with you (i.e., referral, X-ray or MRI report, or other medical reports). Be prepared to talk about your medical history, previous treatments, limitations you’re dealing with, and other relevant details.

What to bring:

• A valid photo ID
• Insurance information, including your insurance card and any necessary authorization or referral forms
• A list of current medications, allergies, and any relevant past surgeries

What to wear:

• Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement and provides access for the physical therapist to examine and treat the affected area. (Athletic wear or clothing that can be easily adjusted is ideal.)
• Supportive, closed-toe shoes, such as sneakers, to ensure safety and comfort during the session.
• Avoid wearing tight or restrictive clothing, which may hinder your ability to move freely during the session.

When to arrive:

• Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to complete any necessary paperwork and settle in. This will also give you time to ask questions and address concerns before your session begins.

During your first session, one of our physical therapists will typically perform a comprehensive evaluation, develop a therapy plan for you, and provide any necessary education, pain relief, or home exercises.

The evaluation will take up most of your appointment time. It includes a review of your medical history, an assessment of your current condition, and an examination of your range of motion, strength, and movement patterns. Our therapist will also discuss your goals and determine how long and how frequently you should attend your physical therapy sessions.

Our therapist will then use information from the assessment to develop your customized treatment plan. They’ll explain the details of your plan and offer any relevant information to help you understand why your treatment plan will be effective.

If you’re struggling with pain or mobility limitations, your first session will likely include some hands-on treatments to address these concerns, such as manual therapy or other modalities.
Your therapist may also give you home exercises to help support your progress in therapy.

After your first session, you’ll arrange the remaining sessions at the front desk before leaving. During those subsequent physical therapy sessions, we’ll build on the initial evaluation to create the most significant impact possible. Our goal will be to help you recover quickly and achieve meaningful, lasting results.

Our St Paul, MN therapists will keep a detailed record of their findings and treatment plan and can provide those to any medical professional of your choosing.

Communicating openly and honestly with your physical therapist throughout each session is essential, as is sharing any concerns or questions you may have. This will help ensure the most effective treatment and a positive experience. We genuinely want to listen, understand your concerns, and provide you with the best possible solution!

Direct Access

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

In all 50 states, you can schedule a visit with one of our therapists to get help sooner rather than later. Whether you’re struggling with lingering pain from an old injury or you only hurt yourself yesterday, Direct Access guarantees your access.

Direct Access refers to the ability of patients to seek and receive physical therapy services without needing a referral or prescription from a physician or other healthcare provider.

Direct Access benefits patients in several ways:

• Faster access to care: Patients can immediately consult with our physical therapists in St Paul, MN without waiting for a referral, allowing treatment to begin sooner and potentially shortening recovery times.
• Reduced healthcare costs: Direct Access can eliminate the need for multiple appointments with different healthcare providers, thereby reducing overall healthcare costs. Early intervention through physical therapy may also prevent the need for more expensive treatments, tests, or procedures later on.
• Streamlined care: Our physical therapists are highly trained healthcare professionals who evaluate and treat musculoskeletal and movement-related issues. Direct Access allows you to receive specialized care from the most appropriate healthcare provider, resulting in more focused and effective treatment.
• Enhanced patient autonomy: Direct Access empowers you to take greater control over your healthcare decisions and choose the most appropriate care for your needs.

Direct Access laws and regulations vary by state in the United States. Some states allow unrestricted Direct Access, while others have specific provisions or limitations, such as a maximum number of visits or a requirement for a referral after a certain period.

It’s also vital to keep in mind that, regardless of your state’s laws, some insurance companies may still require a referral or prescription for coverage. Always check with your insurance provider to understand their specific requirements for physical therapy coverage.

Call today to consult with our administrative team to determine the extent of Direct Access available to you.

How Direct Access laws affect health insurance

Unfortunately, there is no standard requirement for physical therapy benefits among health insurance providers, so policies differ from carrier to carrier. Although Direct Access laws may allow you to seek physical therapy services without a referral, some insurance carriers may still require a referral or prescription for coverage.

For that reason, It’s essential to check what your insurance covers, no matter what! When you contact your provider, be sure to clarify their specific requirements for physical therapy coverage. Remember to ask about any limitations on the number of visits or the duration of treatment.

As you progress through your treatment, keep track of the amount of time you’re spending in physical therapy. This will help ensure you remain within your insurance provider’s coverage limits and comply with state-specific Direct Access regulations.

It is also important to know that although Direct Access allows patients to seek physical therapy services without a referral, it is still vital to maintain open communication with your primary care provider or specialist. Our team will inform them of your physical therapy treatment and update them on your progress. This will help ensure coordinated care and may be necessary if a referral or prescription is eventually required.

In addition, our Maverick Physiotherapy specialists will submit your plan of care to be reviewed and signed off on by a registered doctor.
