Frequently asked questions.

Yes, as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS), Dr. Blair has extensive experience in treating orthopedic conditions common among competitive basketball, football, golf, and track and field athletes.

No, California law allows direct Physical Therapy services without a physician referral for a period of up to 45 calendar days or 12 visits, whichever occurs first. If your treatment plan is expected to exceed 45 days, I can help you with the necessary steps to obtain a physician referral.
-
No, but as an “out of network” provider, Pro-Motion Physical Therapy and Sport Rehab can still provide direct physical therapy services. We do not bill insurance but can generate an invoice that the patient can use to file a claim through their insurance. Any reimbursement you may receive from the insurance provider will depend on the policy’s out of network benefits. There may also be a separate out of network deductible, so please review the details of the policy.
If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you may use those funds to cover the costs not paid by your insurance.
-
In-network providers are typically limited by the number of visits, have shorter appointment times, overlap patients, and use unlicensed aides when working with patients. In this model, the recovery may take longer, requiring more visits, and more co-pays which equates to more time and money invested in the rehab process. With Pro-Motion Physical Therapy and Sport Rehab, you can expect an hour of 1-on-1 time to address your personalized goals in a more efficient way.
-
The initial intake questionnaires will be sent to you through your patient portal and need to be completed prior to your initial evaluation. The intake will include relevant health history and necessary information about your current condition. No additional equipment is required. Everything needed for your appointment will be provided by the Physical Therapist at your home or location of choice.
