General
California's PT direct access law allows patients to directly access physical therapy services from a licensed physical therapist without a physician's for up to 45 days or 12 visits. This provides patients with greater access to physical therapy services and allows for more efficient and effective treatment. If you are not planning on submitting a Superbly to your insurance, you will NOT need a referral from a physician.
However, wellness services are not reimbursed by insurances, and a referral is not needed for wellness or performance-only services.
Follow-ups last 45-60 minutes and include a check-in and progression of current exercises based on your progress. Evaluations typically last 60 minutes however may take slightly longer. Please make sure to complete all intake paperwork prior to give your provider ample time to review your medical history, goals, and begin planning a treatment program.
The number of sessions you need depends on various factors such as your personal demographics, experience with exercise, previous injuries, whether the condition is acute vs. chronic, co-morbidities, and what your personal goals are. It's important take all of these factors into consideration when determining the appropriate number of sessions for you. You and your physical therapist are a team and will collaborate to create a reasonable, effective treatment plan that helps you get back to what you love doing as soon as possible.
Telehealth physical therapy allows clients to receive treatment from the comfort of their home, gym, or office without the need to travel. This means that treatments can be tailored around the client's daily challenges and use equipment they readily have access to. Body or lighter weight exercises can be just as effective as using gym equipment, and research shows that, stretching, and mobility are the best way to make changes. As a physical therapist with experience assessing and treating clients over telehealth, I can provide effective treatment plans that meet the unique needs of each client.
