Start physical therapy without a doctor's referral.

No. Since 2003, New Jersey law has let you see a licensed physical therapist directly, without a doctor's referral or prescription. Two rules come with it: within 30 days of your first treatment, your physical therapist checks in with your doctor about your care (or suggests you see one if you don't have a doctor), and if you haven't made reasonable progress within 30 days, they refer you to a doctor. Your insurance may still ask for a referral, so we check before your first visit.

It depends on your plan. The law doesn't require a referral, but some insurance plans ask for one, and Medicare asks a doctor to sign off on your treatment plan. We check your benefits before your first visit and tell you what yours needs. The plans we're in network with are listed here.

Then you'll need a referral. When New Jersey auto insurance is paying for your care, physical therapy is only covered with a referral from a physician, dentist, podiatrist or chiropractor. Bring it to your first visit, or tell us when you book and we'll explain the next step.

About 60 minutes, one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist. We talk through what's going on and what you want to get back to, look at how you move, and agree on a plan with you. If something needs a doctor first, we tell you and help you find the right one.

Your insurance card and a photo ID, a list of the medicines you take, and any notes or scans from your doctor if you have them. Wear clothes you can move in, like shorts or loose pants, so we can see the area that's bothering you.

Our self-pay prices for a first evaluation and for follow-up visits go here. We tell you the price before your visit, not after.
