No. In the state of New Jersey, you do not need a physician’s referral or prescription to be seen by a physical therapist. Physical therapists in New Jersey have “direct-access” privileges which allow them to see patients without a physician referral or prescription. Your insurance company may require a physician’s referral or prescription if you plan to submit for reimbursement.
We’re here for you, not insurance companies! We are not bound by insurance restrictions. Insurances can restrict the number of treatment visits, the frequency of treatment visits, the treatments and interventions used, etc. Waiting for insurance approvals can delay your care. Being a cash-based practice allows us to provide the best possible care and do what’s best for you. Because we are cash-based we can:
*Provide individualized 1-on-1 care.
*Provide the most appropriate treatments and interventions required for your condition.
*Provide treatments and interventions not covered by insurance.
*Provide the necessary visits and treatment time per session.
*Provide timely care without waiting for insurance approvals.
Call us! We would love to work with you! You’ll likely find that our prices our significantly less than an insurance-based local hospital or institution. This may make a significant difference if you are paying out of pocket, have not met your insurance deductible, have a high copay, or your insurance requires you to pay a percentage of services.
If you plan to self submit for insurance reimbursement, you should contact your insurance company before starting therapy to check on reimbursement for out-of-network physical therapy and any requirements for reimbursement including preauthorization.
