Direct Access
Direct access physical therapy is a patient-centered approach that enhances the efficiency, affordability, and quality of care. Patients who choose to receive direct access care can now get physical therapy services directly from a licensed physical therapist without first obtaining a doctor's prescription or referral. It aligns with the evolving needs of healthcare consumers who desire more immediate and cost-effective solutions for managing their health.
Benefits of Direct Access
Immediate Evaluation and Treatment: Direct access allows patients to be evaluated and treated by a physical therapist without the need for a referral from a practitioner. This means that patients can seek physical therapy services as soon as they feel the need, leading to quicker diagnosis and commencement of treatment.
​
Cost-Effectiveness: By eliminating the requirement for preliminary visits to a physician, direct access can help reduce overall healthcare costs. Patients can avoid unnecessary tests and referrals to specialists, which often result in additional expenses.
​
Enhanced Patient Autonomy: Direct access empowers patients to take control of their healthcare decisions. It provides the freedom to choose when and from whom to seek care, fostering a more proactive approach to health and wellness.
​
Reduced Wait Times: Patients benefit from reduced wait times to see a specialist. Instead of navigating through the traditional referral process, which can take weeks, patients can schedule appointments with physical therapists directly.
