Physically Fit Physical Therapy Referral and Authorization Information


Welcome to Physically Fit Physical Therapy! We're dedicated to providing high-quality physical therapy services to help you achieve your wellness goals. If you're considering physical therapy and need a referral or authorization from your Primary Care Physician (PCP), we've provided important information below to guide you through the process.

Understanding Referrals and Authorizations:

  1. Referral: A referral is a recommendation from your PCP for you to see a specialist, such as a physical therapist. Some insurance plans, particularly Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), require a referral from your PCP before you can see a specialist.

  2. Authorization: An authorization is approval from your insurance company for specific medical services or treatments. Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) typically do not require a referral from your PCP but may require authorization for certain services.

    * An Authorization or Referral does not substitue for a Prescription. You will still need a prescription from a supervising Doctor.

Obtaining a Referral or Authorization:

  • HMO Plans: If you have an HMO insurance plan, you will likely need a referral from your PCP to see a physical therapist. Contact your PCP's office and request a referral to Physically Fit Physical Therapy.

  • PPO Plans: PPO insurance plans generally allow you to see specialists without a referral from your PCP. However, it's essential to check your specific plan requirements. While a referral may not be necessary, you may still need authorization from your insurance company for physical therapy services. Contact your insurance provider to confirm authorization requirements and request authorization for treatment at Physically Fit Physical Therapy.
