Referrals
We accept all physical therapy prescriptions no matter which facility is named on the referral.
Michigan has direct access which gives patients the ability to be evaluated and treated by a physical therapist without being referred by their doctor or other healthcare practitioner. However, each insurance plan is different. Some insurance policies will pay for up to 10 physical therapy sessions, without a referral. However, some insurance policies still require a visit to your primary care physician first. If you call our office, we would be happy to help confirm your benefits and see if a referral is required.
You can simply call your health care provider to ask about a referral for physical therapy – they may, or may not, ask to see you for an office visit. We are happy to assist you with this process if you like.
