No.  Minnesota is a “direct-access” state, meaning it is not required for you to have a referral from a physician to recieve treatment.  The sooner you get to your physical therapist, the sooner you get treatment, the sooner you get better!  We diagnose pain and injuries and provide treatment on the same day.

Yes – we love being your second opinion and frequently see the “complex” cases, resulting from pain or injury, that seem difficult to solve – do NOT give up.  We enjoy the opportunity to help you finally see results!

We do not directly contract with any health insurance carriers.  Why?  The answer to that question is a long one – if you’d like to know more about why we do not contract with insurance and why that benefits you, please visit our blog post (coming soon). Upon request, we can provide statements, which include treatment codes and information that may be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement directly to you.  Due to the variety of insurance plans and coverage, we encourage you to contact your insurance company to verify your “out-of-network” physical therapy benefits to get a better understanding of what you could expect you insurance company to cover.

We do not contract with Medicare and therefore cannot accept Medicare beneficiaries for services covered by Medicare.  If a patient has met their Medicare cap for physical therapy treatment, we would then be able to provide treatment on a cash basis.  Services outside of Medicare coverage to not apply, so if you are looking for personal training or other services, this does not apply and we welcome you to participate.
