Do I need a physician prescription to start physical therapy?
NO! Under California Direct Access AB 1000, you can initiate physical therapy without a physician's diagnosis or prescription. A physical therapist may evaluate and treat you without seeing a physician first, subject to specific limits.
Do you accept medical insurance?
FIT PARSONS does not accept medical insurance. Upon your request, we can provide a super-bill which you can submit to your health plan and FSA/HSA accounts to apply costs toward your deductible and out-of-pocket expenses. Most health plans require you to meet a deductible, meaning you pay out-of-pocket before your insurance coverage begins, regardless of whether you use an in-network or out-of-network provider.
Some insurance plans require prior authorization throughout your care, and most health plans do not cover your return to sport or anything beyond basic daily activities. Furthermore, your insurance will not cover skilled treatment beyond your allowable visit limit, despite medical necessity. This is where FIT PARSONS comes in: to help you initiate treatment without authorization and bridge the gap in care insurance does not allow or cover. Either way, FIT PARSONS is here to help you move your best in a timely and efficient manner.
