What does Direct Access mean?
Direct Access means it’s your move! As a patient, you have the opportunity to seek the care that you need, now. Direct Access to physical therapy means that you can receive an evaluation and treatment from a Physical Therapist without a physician’s referral or prescription for a limited time.
In Texas, patients can be evaluated and treated for physical therapy for up to 10 consecutive business days. If treatment is needed beyond 10 days, the patient will need to obtain a referral from the patient's physician.
