GETTING STARTED
New Patients at PTKC
Welcome to PTKC. If this is your first visit, here is what to expect and how to prepare so you can get the most out of your time with us. We see patients by appointment only, one-on-one, in Overland Park, Kansas.
YOUR FIRST VISIT
What to Expect
Your first visit is an evaluation. Your physical therapist will talk with you about your symptoms and goals, assess how you move, and build an initial plan of care with you. You will have time to ask questions and understand the next steps. Treatment will begin during the first visit whenever it is clinically appropriate and safe.
- A review of your symptoms and goals
- A movement and physical assessment
- An initial plan of care built around your needs
- Time to ask questions
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
What to Bring
- A photo ID
- Your insurance card
- A referral, if your plan requires one
- Any imaging or surgical notes related to your condition
- Comfortable clothing you can move in
- A list of your current medications
REFERRALS
Do I Need a Referral?
Kansas law allows a licensed physical therapist to evaluate and begin treatment without a referral in many situations. Some insurance plans, facilities, or clinical circumstances may still require one. PTKC will let you know if a referral becomes necessary.
