Preparing for your first appointment at Kintsugi Physical Therapy & Wellness

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 (253) 330-8518.

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, and other medical reports)

What to bring:

  • A valid photo ID.
  • Insurance information, including your insurance card and any necessary authorization or referral forms.
  • Bring a list of current medications, allergies, and any relevant past surgeries.
  • Be prepared to talk about your medical history, previous treatments, limitations you’re dealing with, and other relevant details.
  • Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows the physical therapist to examine and treat the affected area. For example, if you have a knee issue, consider wearing shorts.

Direct Access

Recover Faster and Reduce Healthcare Costs with Direct Access

Did you know you can go directly to a physical therapist in Normandy Park, WA when dealing with pain or an injury? It doesn’t matter if you’re dealing with an old or new problem. In all 50 states, you can schedule a visit with one of our therapists at Kintsugi Physical Therapy & Wellness to get help sooner than later.

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. This allows patients to access physical therapy services more quickly and efficiently, potentially leading to faster recovery and reduced healthcare costs.

Direct Access benefits patients in several ways:

  • Faster access to care: Patients can immediately consult with our Kintsugi Physical Therapy & Wellness physical therapists without waiting for a referral, allowing treatment to begin sooner and potentially experience faster 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.
