DO I NEED A REFERRAL TO BE SEEN FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY?
In California, you have the option to visit a physical therapist directly for up to 12 sessions or 45 days (whichever comes first) without needing to see a physician or chiropractor for treatment of an injury or specific condition. If it becomes evident that your needs exceed what physical therapy can provide, we will refer you to appropriate specialist. It's important to remember that physical therapists are not authorized to make medical diagnoses. Additionally, some insurance companies require a diagnosis code for reimbursement, so you might consider seeing your MD or DC before beginning physical therapy if you intend to submit a claim to your insurance.
DOES ASCEND BILL INSURANCE FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY SERVICES?
Ascend Physical Therapy and Pilates Wellness PC does not have contracts with medical insurance providers. To maintain a high standard of care, Ascend has opted to operate as an out-of-network provider and will not bill your insurance directly. However, we supply you with a superbill for submission to your insurance. You will need to reach out to your insurance company to about your specific out-of-network coverage.
