On Your First Visit

On your first visit, come 15 minutes early. There are a few forms to fill out.

Please be sure to bring your Doctor's prescription (Rx) for physical therapy.  Although some insurance plans do not require a prescription (also called a "referral"), NY State law requires Physical Therapists to have a prescription from the patient's physician to begin physical therapy.  The prescription must include your doctor's diagnosis (Dx). Prescriptions can be faxed directly from the physicians office to our office, our fax number is (646) 497-1459.

Bring your insurance card(s), as we'll make a photo-copy for your chart.

Dress comfortably.  It is not necessary to bring sweatpants or work-out clothes to your first session, unless your Physical Therapist has asked you to do so.  If you bring a change of clothes, we provide dressing rooms with lockers to store your items during your session.

Insurance Plans

Physical Therapy & Feldenkrais NYC is an authorized Medicare provider, and we are an in-network provider for United Healthcare. We bill directly for most other major insurance plans.  And many of our patients come to us as an "out-of-network" provider. To find out the benefits of your particular plan call us at (646) 497-1480.

When you call for the first time, be ready to provide your name, date-of-birth, insurance plan name and ID#, and the "provider services" phone # for your plan. This allows us to verify your benefits with your provider.  We'll call you back the same day, and give you the details of your benefits for physical therapy, including:
-- co-pay / co-insurance information
-- whether or not you have a deductible to meet
-- the number of visits you are allowed per year or per     condition
