If you wish to get relief from disorders that put you in pain, make you dizzy or imbalanced, we want you to come in with or without a referral.
Most insurance companies allow you to be seen for 30 days without a referral by physical therapists that have a special license from the State of PA (Direct Access). Most of our physical therapists are licensed to evaluate and treat patients with Direct Access.
Learn more about physical therapy insurance & billing or please contact our office and we can let you know if your insurance will allow you to do that. Medicare does require a referral for Physical Therapy.
If you desire your insurer to cover your expenses, some may want you to have a referral from your primary care or specialty physician. The reason is that we are a prescribed remedy to your specific issues as judged by your physician. Some insurances require a referral from your physician or medical provider (primary care doctor, nurse practitioner, orthopaedic surgeon, podiatrist, chiropractor, etc.) to have your insurance pay for your physical therapy treatment.
We pride ourselves in working with your trusted physician to best assess and consider all factors going into whatever issues you may be experiencing.
Whether you pay for our services or your insurer pays for our services, know that we are like a prescription --- your physician writes the prescription because he/she sees our facility is the best way to improve your outcome with your physical therapy, balance and dizziness issues. And like a prescription, some insurances may require a co-pay or fee to be charged upon the receipt of services.
