health insurance & direct access
Medicare will cover the cost of service if the physiotherapist sets a treatment plan for the patient. Keep in mind that before beginning treatment, the physiotherapist must have the plan of care reviewed and signed off on by a licensed doctor.
Although health insurance is continually changing, Direct Access covers a wide range of private health insurance carriers.
Direct Access to physiotherapy has many benefits. Including but not limited to:
- Patients reported a higher level of satisfaction when they received physiotherapy through Direct Access versus physician referral.
- Patients receiving physiotherapy through direct access versus referral had better outcomes at discharge.
Direct Access myth
Many people believe that Direct Access refers to outpatient physiotherapy; however, it also relates to treatment in pediatric facilities, private home care, school districts, hospitals, and sports fields. Direct Access is much more common than the general public realizes.
