Call us today today or click here to request an appointment. As a patient you do have a choice. You can go directly to a licensed physical therapist for evaluation and treatment without a physician’s referral or prescription. This is known as “Direct Access”.
Since the Public Act 100-0897 became effective August 16th, 2018, people in Illinois have been empowered to take more control over their health by directly accessing the services of a licensed physical therapist. A major advantage to direct access is that patients see a decrease in their out-of-pocket costs by skipping a visit to their general practitioner for a referral. It also means that treatment can get underway faster. Direct access empowers you to take back control of your health by allowing you to choose an approach that will best suit your needs.
Let us help you get the pain relief you need and help you quickly get back to the activities you love to do.
Before making an appointment for physical therapy treatments, be sure to check with your insurance carrier to find out if direct access is covered or if a physician referral is required. Medicare patients will need their physicians to sign their plans of care (POC) in order for the physical therapy services to be covered. However, self-pay patients can receive our help without having to worry about any imposed limits.
