Question 1

How do I know that mobile physical therapy is right for me?

Accepted Answer

If you are interested in physical therapy for a condition we treat but prefer to have your therapy at home or at your workplace for personal or practical reasons, mobile physical therapy is a great option for you.

If you are not sure if you want to have mobile therapy or go to an outpatient clinic, you are welcome to call or text us at 541.246.9867 and we will be happy to discuss your individual situation with you to see what is the best fit.

Question 2

Is there a difference between home health physical therapy and mobile physical therapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes!

You are only eligible for home health physical therapy if you are homebound.  You typically get home health services when you stayed in the hospital for a long time or if you are very ill. This type of therapy is also covered under a different part of your insurance.

For mobile physical therapy, you do NOT have to be homebound. Your insurance treats this type of therapy as if you were going to an outpatient clinic for your physical therapy.

Question 3

Which conditions do you treat?

Accepted Answer

We treat a wide variety of orthopedic conditions, offer post surgical rehabilitation, and treat common dizziness as well as balance issues.

Please see our services page for a more extensive list of conditions.

Question 4

Do I need a referral or prescription for physical therapy?

Accepted Answer

Short answer: 
No. In Oregon, you have direct access to physical therapy.

Long answer: 
If you have traditional Medicare Part B, we will need your primary care provider's approval within 30 days after you start physical therapy. 
This is something we take care of and is usually not a problem.

A few private insurances also require a physician's signature or referral, but this rare. We will always let you know if this is the case.

Question 5

Where do you offer mobile visits?

Accepted Answer

We currently serve Springfield and East Eugene for regular visits.

If you live outside these areas but are interested in mobile physical therapy, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss your options.

Question 6

What can I expect at my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

We will start with a brief interview about your symptoms/issues, conduct a thorough physical exam, discuss the findings, and conclude with some treatment. You will always get some form of “homework” on your first visit.

It is helpful for your therapist if you dress in comfortable attire that allows examination of the affected body part.

Question 7

How do I fill forms before my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

Via email: 
We will email you the forms to fill. 
You may either fill them electronically and email them back to us to rosa@springfieldmobilept.com, or print, fill them in with a pen, and return them to us at your first visit.

Via the patient portal: 
Go to the Consent Forms tab and sign all documents. Then go to the Intake Forms tab and fill in the Medical Intake form. 
Please note: you do NOT need to fill in the Patient information form, unless the information provided in the patient portal is is inaccurate and requires correction.
