Direct Access One of our patients was happy to learn about direct access. “I was so excited to learn that I didn’t have to go to my doctor before I went to Physical Therapy. It saved me money and I was able to get to my recovery sooner. APT was able to get me in within 48 hours and I saved time and money by not having to wait for a doctor’s appointment.” - S.L. Direct access refers to the ability of patients to be evaluated and treated by a physical therapist without being referred by a doctor or other healthcare practitioner. If you feel you have a problem that may benefit from the skilled services of a physical therapist, you may be able to refer yourself to physical therapy for treatment. If you have any questions regarding this or need to schedule an appointment, please call us at 316-283-7187 . We would love to answer any questions you may have about direct access/self-referral.
