Lymphedema Patients:

 

Patients coming in for the Lymphedema Treatment Program will have to purchase supplies and bandages (if necessary) as described in your initial consultation. Most insurance carriers do not cover the costs of the necessary bandages, however, some insurances do cover the costs of custom made or ready-made garments. All insurances differ on policy.

 

Session Length of a Lymphedema Treatment:

Lower Extremity Lymphedema: 1 hour and 45 minutes

Upper Extremity Lymphedema: 1 hour and 15 minutes

 

Lymphedema Cancellation Policy:

 

It has become necessary to implement this cancellation policy for our lymphedema patients due to an increase in last minute cancellations. a $60.00 cancellation fee will become your responsibility not the insurance carriers for appointments, which are cancelled less than 24hours in advanced. Calls that are received after normal business hours for appointments scheduled for the following business day will not be considered as sufficient notice. .We try to accommodate our patients and therefore, schedule your appointments well in advance of the actual appointment date. This should provide ample opportunity to make changes in your appointment if a conflict occurs in your schedule.  Although we understand that there are those unforeseeable circumstances, which might require a last minute cancellation. We will work to fill this appointment to avoid any fees. However, if we are unable to substitute an appointment in your allotted time, the cancellation fee will remain in place. This policy is being implemented in order to prevent future disruption in scheduling, as well as infringing upon the rights of other patients who are waiting to receive care. As you are aware the treatment time allocated is usually 1 hour with the Lymphedema therapist followed by ½ hour of therapeutic exercise combined with joint mobilization / range of motion modalities. This form of treatment requires a great deal of “hands on therapy”, with cancellations the night before or on the day of your appointment creating an atmosphere of unnecessary stress to all staff involved. We hope that you understand the necessity for this policy. Please make every effort possible to keep your scheduled appointment

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Initial Evaluation

Your first visit to our office will involve a full evaluation from one of our Supervising Physicians or physical therapists so they can fully understand your condition. Immediately following the evaluation, this first visit usually takes 1 1/2 hours.

 

Treatment Visits

In each subsequent visit, the patient will continue through with their treatment plan that has been specifically designed for the patient. Based on the client 's specific plan of care, this may include manual therapy (hand-on therapy, 1-on-1 with the physical therapist), therapeutic exercises, and modalities (heat/cold therapy, electrical stimulation, light therapy, traction, etc.). These visits usually take between 45 minutes to 1 hour.

 

Discharge Visit

This is the client’s final visit to our office. At this time, the physical therapist performs a discharge evaluation to measure the gains the client has made throughout their treatments. In addition, the physical therapist will educate the patient on ways to prevent the condition from occurring again in the future. If not already done so, the clients will be given a home exercise program to continue.
