What is Direct Access?
In New York State, Direct Access allows you to receive physical therapy treatment without a physician’s referral for up to 10 visits or 30 days, whichever comes first. This means you can start care right away without delays, helping you recover faster and regain mobility sooner.

Does Insurance Cover Direct Access?

If needed, we can guide you through the process of obtaining a referral to ensure your care is covered.
