PT Without a Referral
YES YOU CAN! While some health insurance plans require that your physician send
you to PT, most will pay without a referral. If you are not sure, call your insurance
company and ask. Or call us at HPT and we can check for you. It may save you
a trip to the doctor's office.
There are some instances that you should see your physician before starting
PT. If you have a heart condition, diabetes, or any serious medical problems,
you should see your doctor first. Also, if you have fallen or been in a
car accident, a medical evaluation to rule out serious injury should be
performed before beginning physical therapy.
So, the next time your back pain flares up, you sprain your ankle or your
knee pain starts acting up again, call us and set up an appointment with
one of our highly qualified, licensed physical therapists! YES YOU CAN!
