FAQ

On your first visit, you’ll meet with a physical therapist who will perform an evaluation and functional assessment on your pain or injury. Once the evaluation is complete, the physical therapist will review and discuss your plan of care. Treatment and a home exercise program will be issued based on diagnosis and time permitting.

No, you do not need a doctor’s order to start therapy. We can start treatment on your initial visit! Physical Therapists in the State of Texas can now evaluate and treat your injury for 10 consecutive business days as long as they have met certain criteria based on the new rules and regulations regarding direct access. In order to treat a patient without a script/referral, a physical therapist must possess a doctoral degree in physical therapy or have completed 30 continuing competence hours in differential diagnosis. If a PT with a doctoral degree has completed a fellowship or residency, the number increases to 15 consecutive business days. Once the 10 or 15 consecutive business days have past, the physical therapist will need a doctor’s order to continue care.

Referrals can come from any of these professionals, MD, DO, Physician’s Assistant, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Dentist, Podiatrist and Chiropractor…..licensed anywhere in the United States.

We are not Participating Medicare Providers, therefore we can only accept Medicare beneficiaries as patients when the patient does not want Medicare billed for any PT services. A Medicare beneficiary consent form, stating to not involve Medicare with payment, must be completed up front, at the patient’s own free will, before the initial visit occurs.
