Do I need a referral to attend physical therapy? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Oregon allows patient self referral, or direct access, for physical therapy; therefore, a prescription from an approved provider (see following FAQ for a list of who can refer you to PT) is not required. Oregon House Bill 2684 allows unlimited access to physical therapy treatment as long as care is medically necessary and warranted.<\/p>\n

As a courtesy and to foster professional relations and team care, if you attend physical therapy under self referral, upon your request, we will send a copy of the initial physical therapy evaluation and subsequent progress reports to your physician\u00a0for their records and to keep them informed as to your care.<\/p>\n <\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/section>\n

Will insurance cover my physical therapy without a referral? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Most insurance providers cover and reimburse for physical therapy related services without a referral from an approved provider (see following FAQ for a list of who can refer you to PT). Please contact your individual insurance carrier to verify that physical therapy services are covered via self referral.<\/p>\n

\u200bMedicare recipients<\/u> are required to have a referral to physical therapy in order to have the services covered under Medicare benefits.<\/p>\n

For those whose insurance does not cover physical therapy services under self referral, most often if you contact your medical provider and request a referral for physical therapy they are happy to oblige.<\/p>\n
