Do I Need a Doctor’s Referral for Pediatric Physical Therapy?
No, you do not need a doctor’s referral for your child to receive pediatric physical therapy services. Thanks to Direct Access regulations, individuals can seek pediatric physical therapy treatment without a prescription or referral from a doctor.
Direct Access grants you the freedom to choose pediatric physical therapy services and initiate treatment for your child’s specific needs. This regulation applies across all fifty states and the District of Columbia, ensuring that your child can access evaluation and therapy services promptly.
