EXERCISE ESSENTIALS
IT’S EASIER TO GET THERAPY THAN YOU THINK! If you have an injury or an increase in pain and your health plan provides direct access, you can be evaluated and treated by a physical therapist for up to 60 days without a physician’s referral. It is an easy process that can begin with a 15 minute free screen to promptly assess if therapy is required and or a quick call to the phone number provided on the back of your insurance card to determine if your health plan accepts direct access. Keep in mind deductibles, co-pays and other health care costs your insurance company require, would still apply.
