BenchMark Physical Therapy

A referral is no longer needed for a licensed Physical Therapist to evaluate and treat patients:

Up to 10 business days for PTs with a doctoral degree or PTs who have 30 hours of CCUs in Differential Diagnosis

Up to 15 business days for PTs with a doctoral degree who have completed a residency, fellowship training, or board certification as recognized by the Texas Board of Physical Therapy Examiners

Must have at least one year of experience

Must have liability insurance

Will still need a referral if treatment is necessary beyond the allowed days

A disclosure form must be given to patients treated by a physical therapist without a referral. The form shall include language in which the patient acknowledges that physical therapy is not a substitute for a medical diagnosis by a physician, nor is it based on radiological imaging, that a physical therapist cannot diagnose illness or disease, and that such services might not be covered by a patient’s health plan or insurer.

Heat application, cryotherapy, electrical stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound, and massage are just a few of the physical therapy modalities that may be used at different stages of a person’s recovery; as an adjunct to therapeutic exercise, stretches, and manual techniques implemented by a Physical Therapist.

What if you could benefit from all of these treatments without the constraints of having to wait at a Doctor’s office for a referral; being told where to go; not having your business earned; or having a ridiculous deductible or co-payments that make “having insurance” essentially worthless because you can’t afford them.

Having direct access to a Physical Therapist of your choice can not only help you feel better, but it can also help you find some answers to questions you haven't thought to ask.

Whether you’re trying to avoid joint surgery, improve mobility and movement, recover from injury or trauma, improve balance, overcome age-related issues, manage chronic or sudden pain, return to sport, or start to exercise, we can help you.
