Preparing for your child’s first appointment

At PediPlay in Indianapolis, IN, our pediatric physical therapy team is dedicated to understanding the unique needs of your child and creating a tailored treatment plan to help them enjoy an active and fulfilling childhood.

Here’s a checklist of things you’ll need for your child’s first appointment:

• Arrival Time: Please arrive 15 minutes early for your child’s initial visit to allow time for paperwork completion.
• Questions: Prepare a list of questions or concerns you’d like to discuss during your first meeting with our pediatric physical therapist.
• Documents: Don’t forget to bring essential documents, including your child’s photo ID and a copy of your insurance card.
• Insurance Verification: Prior to your appointment, contact our office at (317) 791-9031 to confirm your insurance benefits.
• Medical History: Be ready to provide information about your child’s medical history, past treatments, current medications, and any other relevant details.
• Symptoms and Limitations: Create a list of your child’s symptoms or limitations, including activities, positions, or movements that worsen or improve their condition. How long has your child been experiencing this issue, and have they encountered similar problems before?

The more information you can provide about your child’s condition, the better our pediatric physical therapists can assess and address their needs.

Did You Know You Can See a Pediatric Physical Therapist Without a Referral?

It may come as a surprise, but you have the option to schedule an appointment directly with a pediatric physical therapist when your child is dealing with pain or an injury. Whether it’s a recent issue or an ongoing concern, you don’t need prior permission from a physician to seek help from our specialists.

In the medical community, this is known as Direct Access, and it means you can connect with a pediatric physical therapist without first seeing a doctor. This straightforward approach can save you valuable time and get your child the assistance they need more quickly.

At PediPlay in Indianapolis, IN, we offer Direct Access for pediatric physical therapy. You can reach us at (317) 791-9031 to schedule an appointment today!

Direct Access eliminates the need for an initial doctor’s appointment, followed by potential delays in obtaining a referral for physical therapy, and then waiting for an appointment with the therapist.

Another advantage of choosing to see our pediatric physical therapists directly is cost savings. By bypassing multiple copayments for doctor visits and specialist referrals, you can achieve cost-effective care for your child’s needs.

Direct Access empowers you to make healthcare decisions independently, ensuring prompt attention to your child’s recovery. You no longer have to wait for another appointment; you can take charge of your child’s healthcare journey right away!

If you have questions about Direct Access or wish to schedule an appointment with a pediatric physical therapist, please contact PediPlay in Indianapolis, IN today!
