Cancer AWareness Month
PT Can Assist With Activity And Recovery
October is National Cancer Awareness Month. We have turned our Banner Colors Pink in the awareness for Breast Cancer which affects so many of our lives. There are very few people that have not been touched by Breast Cancer alone. Each of us here at LGPT have been affected in some way by not only Breast Cancer, but Ovarian Cancer, Lung Cancer, and Colon Cancer. We have added this special section to increase awareness on the growing number of younger cancer diagnoses as well as the growing numbers for the cancer diagnosis itself. Early diagnosis is always a key to success. Treatments can leave you tired and in many cases less mobile. Please ask your Physician for a PT referral to assist you in appropriate exercise and activity design for your individual needs. If you have any questions about how PT can help you or a family member, please do not hesitate to contact us. Many patients can benefit from a formal exercise routine to complete as they are able throughout the treatment and once their cancer treatments are complete.

Forms
Medical Questionnaire
Before you arrive we ask for you to fill out a questionnaire that will list your medical history and medications as well as give us your basic registration information. You can print it out and bring it with you the first day.
Outcome Questionnaire
Many of our insurance companies require beginning and ending outcome information for your progress. Once we know why you are coming in to see us, we can email you the correct form to fill out in advance and bring out a printed copy.
Cancellation Policy
We ask that you give us 24 hours notice to cancel an appointment. Please call us at 440-937-5210 to change or cancel your appointment.
Billing Agreement
We will call your insurance company as a courtesy. It is your responsibility to understand your benefits. We will assist in explaining and discussing if needed. We require payment for all Co-pays, Deductibles, and Co-Insurance. A Co-pay is a set amount each visit (ie. $20/visit). A Co-Insurance is a percentage of the adjusted amount after your insurance rates it down to reasonable and customary (ie. 20% if the insurance company pays 80%). And lastly a deductible, which is the amount which you must pay each year before the plan kicks in at a higher rate. Deductibles range significantly these days from $250 to $5000 per person. There may also be an out of pocket maximum. This would be an amount that will also increase your coverage.
FAQs
The most common question we get is, What will you do with me when I arrive?
The Physical Therapist will evaluate your strengths and weaknesses and set up a personalized plan for you that addresses your needs. We look to start treatment on day one. We look at you as a whole person and talk with you as well as take measurements for the body parts in need. We also have our patients give us goals that they would like to accomplish by coming, so we can determine the best path for you.
