Direct Access
What is Direct Access to Physical Therapy?
Understanding Direct Access: Direct access in Texas allows patients to be evaluated and treated by a physical therapist without a physician’s referral. You can directly visit a physical therapist when you need to, which can expedite your treatment and save time.
Benefits of Direct Access
- Immediate Care: Begin treatment without delays for a faster recovery.
- Cost-Effective: May reduce healthcare costs by avoiding unnecessary visits to other healthcare providers.
- Empowerment: Take control of your healthcare decisions and seek physical therapy services as needed.
Important Considerations
- Treatment can be provided for up to 10 business days
- Federal Insurance and HMO Referral Requirements
While we offer direct access to physical therapy services, it’s important to note that patients with federal insurance plans, such as Medicare, or those enrolled in Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans, may still require a referral from a healthcare provider.
We advise all patients to check with their insurance provider to understand their specific referral requirements. Our team at Therapy Partners of North Texas is here to assist you with any questions you may have regarding insurance coverage and referrals.
Take advantage of the opportunity to access our physical therapy services directly. If you’re experiencing pain or functional limitations, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Contact Therapy Partners of North Texas today to schedule your evaluation and start on the path to recovery.
