Short Answer, no you don’t need a physician referral for physical therapy in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Washington D.C., Maryland, or Delaware. Physical Therapists are direct access providers in the aforementioned states and district.
Here are a few reminders that will make sure that you get the most out of your first visit with Dr. C.
The simple answer is that if you’re really not sure, schedule a free 15-minute virtual consultation with Dr. C. Provided some information, Dr. C will be able to direct you to the solution most beneficial.
No. Dr. C has chosen to operate as an out-of-network provider in order to provide high quality 1:1 care to patients. The Integrative approach that she takes is designed specifically for each patient to recover, have the tools necessary for continued health maintenance, and to fully achieve their activity level goals. In-network providers are limited to providing “medically necessary” care, which refers to your ability to get dressed, shower, work, sit, stand, etc. (You get the point). If your goal is to run a half marathon, practice yoga, or play basketball without pain, etc., that’s not covered by in-network services. Dr. C is happy to provide you with the necessary paperwork to submit for reimbursement with your insurance company after each visit.
Yes. Should you require follow-up visits, the cost per hour is discounted based on the number of visits purchased as a package. Specific rates can be provided during the discovery call, but no recommendation can be made prior to evaluation. Package recommendations are based on the findings of your first visit and how many sessions would be necessary to see you through to achieving your end goal.
