Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My doctor gave me a therapy referral for another facility. Am I allowed to come to Continuum?
A: Yes. It is your choice where you go for Physical Therapy. Your doctor can suggest a practice he or she is comfortable with, but cannot legally dictate where you go for therapy. It's up to you.
Q: How do I get started?
A: You can ask your physician to fax a referral to us or you can call us directly. While we will gladly provide a referral form for your physician upon request, a simple referral including your diagnosis, a request for "Physical Therapy - Evaluate and Treat", and his or her signature is all we need to begin.
Q: Can I come straight to Continuum PT without a referral or prescription from my doctor?
A: Yes. In Maine (and almost all other states), you can visit a Physical Therapist for evaluation and treatment without a physician referral. Depending on your insurance plan, a referral may be required to fulfill your plan's payment policies. Also, it's usually just a good idea for your physician to know what we are doing in therapy. Keeping your physician informed helps him or her provide you with great medical care.
Q: How long will my session be?
A: We spend an average of 45 minutes with you at every visit. We very rarely overlap appointments. You have our full attention.
Q: Will my insurance pay for this?
A: Yes, in most cases. We'll verify your benefits, but you should always call your insurance company to confirm what your plan requires and pays for. We know it's confusing. Call us - we'll help.
