Welcome and thank you for choosing Stanwood Camano Physical Therapy for your physical therapy needs. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and will work hard to help you recover from your injury. It is our goal to exceed your expectations for your care at this clinic. We will also strive to educate you about how your body moves. Our goal is that you become an expert on your body and how your postures and mechanics impact your injury and recovery. During therapy, we expect you to be an active participant in your recovery both in and outside of the clinic. You will be given home exercises to do and it is essential for you to do them consistently. If you ever have suggestions regarding your treatment please let your therapist know as soon as possible. We are very open to constructive criticism and welcome any comments that will help improve our service.

PATIENT RESPONSIBILITY:
INSURANCE: It is your responsibility, as the patient, to know what your insurance limitations are; deductible, copay and restrictions. If your insurance requires pre-authorization, you are responsible for assuring that you have the proper authorization from your insurance before being seen. You are responsible for all costs not covered by your insurance company, co-pays, and cancellation or no show fees.
CANCELLATION/NO SHOW POLICY: We understand that occasionally things come up that require you to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Out of consideration for other patients that need to schedule appointments, we will require an 8 hour notice for any appointment cancellations in order to avoid a $25 cancellation fee. You will also be charged if you do not show up for your appointment. If you have any questions about this policy, please feel free to ask.
