Question 3

Do I need a referral from a MD?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you are required to have a MD referral by your health insurance for you to be seen by a licensed physical therapist.

You are allowed to see a PT with “Direct Access” in the state of Texas. “Direct Access” means you are able to go to a PT without a referral however your therapy is limited to 10-15 business days after which you will be REQUIRED to obtain a referral from an MD. If planning to go this route, you cannot use your health insurance for coverage.

It is easier to have a referral on file from the beginning of your therapy to prevent any lapse in care.
