No Referral is Required to See a Physical Therapist
Direct Access in the medical community refers to the ability to see a physical therapist whenever you want without obtaining permission from your physician or medical practitioner.
Physical therapists routinely assess and treat patients without the recommendation of a physician. Direct Access eliminates waiting for a doctor’s appointment, then waiting for a referral to physical therapy.
Direct Access also saves you money. By seeing our physical therapists first, you eliminate paying a copay for the specialist visits leading up to a referral for physical therapy.
Direct Access is all about being able to give you control over your healthcare, allowing you to focus on your recovery and get the help you need right away!
What Effect Does Direct Access Have on Health Insurance?
Coverage for insurance vary by carrier. Direct Access accepts a wide range of private health insurance carriers, but it’s always a good idea to double-check what your insurance covers.
Our physical therapists maintain constant communication with your doctor. They submit your care plan for review and approval by your doctor. This process of reviewing and approving is overlooked by your insurance to ensure medical necessity. Communication between all parties, including the patient, is important to us as we create and execute your plan of care.
