Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
Dr. Melia is an out-of-network provider with all insurance companies, however a physical therapy superbill - or itemized receipt - can be provided upon request. Submit this to your insurance company for direct reimbursement of your out-of-network benefits.
Do I need a prescription?
Under Virginia, Maryland and DC laws, patients can be seen directly for physical therapy services without any restrictions. This is known as direct access.
For pilates or wellness/fitness sessions, you do not need a physician referral.
What do I need to bring?
Come to your appointment wearing clothes you can move in and allow access to the area of concern.
Bring any doctor referrals, imaging reports, or other pertinent documents to your first appointment.
How long is the appointment?
In person physical therapy sessions are 55 minutes in duration. Your first session, or initial evaluation, may be a little longer due to the injury history, tests and measures, and patient education that takes place when getting started.
Telehealth physical therapy sessions are 45 minutes, although can be extended to 60 minutes upon request.
Pilates and wellness sessions are 50-55 minutes in duration.
