Patient Intake Form
Our forms are short and sweet. Be sure to bring your ID, insurance cards, and a referral, if you have one, to your first visit. To keep your information safe, we do not have a web based intake form. You may print the forms from the link below or wait to fill them out in the office.
What can I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit to Lystra Physical Therapy will be the evaluation visit with Robert Malone or Olivia Meadors, our physical therapists. They will ask about how your issue began, what makes it worse or better, about your medical history, about medications, and about your goals for physical therapy.
All you need to bring to your first appointment is yourself, identification and insurance cards, and if you have one, your doctors referral.
Do I need a referral for physical therapy?
No referral is needed - you can come straight in to see us without having to go to your doctor. As of 2024, a referral was no longer required. It is dramatically more effective and cheaper for patients to be sent to PTs first.
TriCare and TriWest patients must have authorizations prior to their first visit. Few other insurances require authorizations, but we will check this when you call.
How long will I have to be in physical therapy and how often?
This is dependent on what you are seeing us for, how committed you are to getting better, your insurance policy limits, and your financial ability to pay for care. Most cases are seen twice a week for 6-8 weeks, but this is entirely dependent on what you are seeing us for. More complex cases may be seen longer and some only need a few visits.
Our patients fall in love with our form of physical therapy and return to us year after year for anything that may pop up. We look forward to welcoming you to the Lystra Patient Family.
What if I can’t afford to pay for my physical therapy?
We know that healthcare can be expensive, especially with the new trend of higher deductible policies. We encourage you to still seek out care because helping you out of pain is more important to us than you paying at each visit.
We offer payment plans of 6, 9, or 12 months so that you can spread your cost over the year and have more peace about your care.
What if I don’t have insurance?
No problem. We have a self pay rate of $120 per visit. You no longer need a referral for care. You will still get the same high quality care we provide to all patients.
