Will I see the same physical therapist every time?

At Kaizen PT, you will receive one-on-one care from the same therapist at every appointment.

Do I need a referral to see a physical therapist?

No, you do not need a referral to see a physical therapist. In the State of Washington, we have Direct Access which allows you to see a physical therapist without a referral or prescription. Request an appointment through our website or give us a call at 206-752-3603!

How should I prepare for my initial appointment?

Please have your referral (if you have one) and insurance card ready when you call to schedule. This will allow us to verify your insurance benefits and provide you with an estimate of coverage.

Bring to your first visit:

• A prescription or referral if you have one.

• Insurance information (we will need a copy of your insurance card).

• In the case of an automobile accident or worker’s compensation claim, also bring any case manager or insurance adjuster contact names, phone numbers, and claim number.

I don’t have insurance – what do I do?

For patients who don’t have insurance, we offer self-pay rates. Initial evaluations are $125 and follow-up visits are $105.

Will my sessions be covered by insurance?

Yes, in most cases it does. Kaizen Physical Therapy will be happy to assist in contacting your insurance company and determining your coverage based on your individual policy. For more information, call our office at 206-752-3603!

How many times will I need to come in before I feel better?

Every patient is different. Your therapist will develop a plan of care that is right for you and specific to your needs. Your plan of care and number of visits will be determined during your first visit and explained to you by our physical therapist.

How long will each of my sessions last?

Your initial appointment is scheduled for 60 minutes and follow-up sessions are usually 40-60 minutes.

What should I wear to my sessions?

For your initial appointment, dress comfortably and in clothing that allows your therapist to examine your problem areas. For follow-up appointments, loose-fitting or relaxed clothing that you can easily do simple exercises in is often a good choice.
