Yes and no!
Direct Access means the removal of the physician referral mandate. Now, in every state, you are allowed by law to access physical therapist services for evaluation and treatment without a physician referral.
However, some states limit how many visits and/or how long you can see a physical therapist without physician involvement. Patients with Medicare will require a prescription from their doctor or a signature on the physical therapist’s plan of care.
If you are concerned in any way, we recommend you contact your doctor first and ask for a prescription to be faxed over to us, or contact us directly, and we can secure a prescription from the doctor.
