No. In Pennsylvania you can see a physical therapist who has a special "Direct Access" license for a period of 30 days without a doctor's prescription. If your doctor has already ordered physical therapy, you can choose who will treat you. You do not have to stay within a specific hospital system.
Treatment varies from patient to patient, but the average is 6-8 visits. I will know in approximately 3 visits if physical therapy is helpful for you. If you have improved and have passed the 30 day mark, most family doctors will give orders to continue physical therapy with a phone call from the patient.
I am a participating provider with Capital Blue Cross, Highmark Blue Shield, and Horizon BCBS. In addition other BC/BS plans can be billed as an "out of area- in network" provider using the Blue Exchange.
I can still treat you if you don’t have insurance or if I don’t participate with your company as an “ out of network provider”. Some insurance companies will reimburse patients for care given by a provider who does not accept insurance, so I will provide you with a receipt.
***COMING SOON I am currently in the process of becoming a Medicare provider
Most pain can be treated without costly imaging (x-ray, MRI, CT scans). Using the safe and reliable assessment techniques developed by Robin McKenzie, a mechanical diagnosis can be made, which will guide your treatment.
