Physical Therapy without a Prescription
As of October 1, 2006, Connecticut and New York joined the states which allow you, unless your
injury is part of a workers’ compensation claim, to
seek physical therapy treatment without a doctor's prescription. A provision of the law requires objective,
measurable, functional improvement within
30 days or 6 visits, or the treating physical
therapist is required to refer you to a physician.
So if you
have an injury or other condition causing pain
or limited function, physical therapy may be
helpful. If you have been injured and would like
a physical therapy evaluation before you see your
physician, please call one of Moore’s offices
for a consultation. You will get a live person on the phone who can schedule you quickly.
We will treat you until you can
get in to see your regular physician or we will refer
you to a physician if you do not already have one. We have developed relationships with the areas BEST doctors over the last 20 years. We can recommend the right doctor for your condition and make a call on your behalf.
We are happy to answer any questions you have regarding Direct Access. Please call the location most convenient for you, from the list below.
