Save Time & Money With DIRECT ACCESS What Does It Mean? 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 an individual feels they have a problem that may benefit from the skilled services of a physical therapist, they can “refer themselves” for treatment. Why Is It Important? Healthcare is expensive and direct access can be a cost savings by eliminating other physician office visit fees by coming directly to physical therapy for evaluation and treatment. You can begin treatment quicker / get relief faster by coming directly to us vs. waiting to get in to see a doctor who then in turn would refer you to physical therapy, a process that can often take at least 7-10 days, time you could have spent getting much needed relief and on the road back to your daily activities. Insurance will still pay for treatment. Patient responsibility – i.e. copays, deductibles, etc. – associated with care is the same as if you had come to us with a prescription. Will My Doctor Know I Received Care? Absolutely. Cornerstone Physical Therapy always keeps your medical doctor informed of your care by forwarding a copy of our evaluation notes, planned course of treatment and progress notes We do this for everyone whether you come to us via direct access (self-referral) or come to us with a prescription from your doctor. In addition, Cornerstone Physical Therapy will IMMEDIATELY refer you to a physician if our evaluation determines there is a more significant problem. Unfortunately (or fortunately), over our decades-long experience we have had individuals come to us with pain that when we referred them back to their physician something more serious was discovered.
