When does my prescription for therapy expire?

That depends upon the length of time that your physician prescribes, typically 4-6 weeks. If you have been putting off calling to set up your initial physical therapy evaluation, most insurance companies will honor it as being valid for 30 days past the date that it was written.

Can I come to SportsPlus without a physician’s prescription?

Yes, you can receive a complimentary screening (see below) for your injury without first seeing a physician. In order for your insurance company to reimburse for physical therapy services, a physician’s prescription is required. However, if you don’t want to submit the bills to an insurance company and are willing to pay cash for the services rendered, a prescription is not necessary.

Will my physician be involved in my rehab?

The physician/therapist relationship is vital to your recovery. That is why your physician will receive a detailed copy of the initial evaluation following your first visit to the clinic. Your therapist will keep your physician updated on your condition by providing him/her written reports when your condition changes dramatically or when you return to your doctor for a follow-up visit. Your physician will also receive a copy of your discharge letter once you have completed therapy by reaching your desired goals.

What is a complimentary screening? How do I schedule a screening?

It is a brief (15-30 minutes) but thorough evaluation of your injury. Once an assessment of the nature and severity of your condition is determined, you will be educated in the anatomy and probable causes of this condition. In addition to this, we will provide you with a plan to follow to be restored back to health quickly and safely. This may or may not include the following, depending upon your condition:

1. Following up for further evaluation with your family physician or other specialist,
2. Use of common treatment methods, including some combination of PRICE (protect, rest, ice, compression, elevation),
3. Simple exercises including stretching or strengthening in an attempt to alleviate your problem, or
4. Further follow-up in physical or occupational therapy for more extensive treatment.

You can schedule your screening by calling our office at (641) 753-6636 and telling the receptionist that you would like to schedule a complimentary screening.

Do you sell or fit braces and splints at SportsPlus?

Yes, depending upon your condition and the type of brace or splint that you need, we keep a small inventory on hand or we can special order your brace and usually receive it within 2-5 business days.
