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.

Get Physical Therapy Without a Referral

Benefits of Direct Access:

  • No Referral Needed – Save time by starting treatment immediately.

  • Faster Pain Relief – Address injuries and mobility issues without waiting for a doctor’s appointment.

  • Cost-Effective – Avoid unnecessary medical visits before beginning physical therapy.

  • Personalized Care – Get a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs from day one.

Does Insurance Cover Direct Access?

While Direct Access allows you to see a physical therapist without a referral, some insurance plans may require one for coverage. We recommend checking with your provider to confirm your benefits. If needed, we can guide you through the process of obtaining a referral to ensure your care is covered.
