Is a physician referral required for in-home physical therapy?

Yes and no.

Direct Access means you do not have to obtain a physician’s referral. You can now access physical therapist services for evaluation and treatment without a physician referral in every state.

However, some states limit the number of visits and/or the length of time you can see a physical therapist without the involvement of a physician.

If you are concerned in any way, we recommend that you first contact your doctor and request a prescription be faxed to us, or that you contact us directly, and we will obtain a prescription from the doctor.
