Frequently Asked Questions

Many people rely on insurance to pay for their Physical Therapy, and in many instances that means that they need to obtain a referral or prescription from their primary care provider, surgeon, or other doctors.

Direct access cuts out the middleman. Direct access offers patients the ability to access physical therapy services without first visiting another doctor. This saves you time and money when it comes to living a pain free life or recovering from an injury.

At Precision Performance Physical Therapy we have Pennsylvania Direct Access privileges. This means our Doctors of Physical Therapy can see you for 30 days without a referral whether you are in or out of network. By coming to see us first you can save the co-pays of seeing your physician and the costs of any images or special tests that you would otherwise need if you visit a Physical Therapy clinic without these privileges. If our therapists determine you need further care outside of our scope of practice we can then refer you to the proper medical professional, often helping you get priority scheduling.

Loose fitting clothing and supportive sneakers are always a good choice. Your therapist will need to be able to examine your problem areas and you don’t want any movement being restricted by your clothing.
