Direct Access
Did you know you don’t need a referral to see a physical therapist?
Not everyone is aware that if you are experiencing pain or recovering from an injury, you can go directly to your physical therapist WITHOUT a physician referral. It makes no difference whether you’re dealing with an old or new problem. You can schedule an appointment with one of our highly-skilled therapists to get help today.
Direct Access refers to the ability to see a physical therapist without first obtaining a referral from your physician or medical practitioner. You can come directly to your physical therapist, who is trained to appropriately evaluate your pains/problems and determine what the next best course of action should be for your condition(s).
Physical therapists routinely assess and treat patients without the recommendation of a physician. You can reach us at Hopstown Physical Therapy in Beaverton and Lake Oswego, OR, and we’ll schedule your appointment immediately! Direct Access eliminates the need to waste time waiting for a doctor’s appointment, spending healthcare monies on visits and diagnostics that do not tell you anything more about your true problems, to ultimately get a referral to a physical therapist in the end.
Direct Access is all about you being able to make your own healthcare decisions without being constrained by outdated rules. Physical therapists are the experts in musculoskeletal disorders. Direct Access gives you control over your healthcare, allowing you to focus on your recovery now rather than wasting time and money on other appointments that are unable to truly identify your pain or problems and begin getting you on the road to recovery today.
Direct Access also allows you to save money, schedule appointments when you want, and hasten your recovery so you can get relief and get back to doing what you love faster. If you have any questions about Direct Access, or want to make an appointment with one of our skilled physical therapists, call Hopstown Physical Therapy in Beaverton and Lake Oswego, OR right away!

FAQs
Are physical therapy treatments painful?
Physical therapy is intended to relieve pain rather than aggravate it. Your pain levels, however, may fluctuate. Our therapists will clearly define what constitutes "normal" pain and what does not. To facilitate improvements in your overall condition, some situations necessitate exercises or actions that can elicit a pain response.
You may experience some discomfort as a result of using weakened or recovering muscles. Alternatively, due to the nature of the condition, restoring range of motion after surgery can be painful for some. Unfortunately, experiencing a temporary increase in pain may be critical to your recovery. Although it may seem counterintuitive, there are times when increased pain early on can prevent more severe pain later on.
Rest assured that we will do everything possible to reduce your pain and prevent it from worsening during your physical therapy session. Communication with your physical therapist will aid in the reduction of any discomfort you may experience during your physical therapy treatments.
We want you to be pain-free and back to your normal activities as soon as possible, and we will do everything we can to prepare you for any discomfort.
Can I go to any physical therapy clinic?
According to “The Patient’s Bill of Rights” law, you can choose what physical therapy clinic you want for your care.
Although a lot of physicians recommend a physical therapy clinic they may prefer, you are under no obligation to go to that clinic. No medical practitioner, insurance company, or other entity can insist you attend a physical therapy clinic. The choice is yours to make!
Your basic patient rights include these:
- The right to information about quality: You can look up information about medical practitioners' credentials, statistics regarding hospitals and clinics, and what your health plan covers in easy-to-understand language. The right to choose a healthcare provider: Besides your primary healthcare provider, this also covers specialists, including physical therapists.
- The right to emergency services: You can't be denied treatment in an emergency.
- The right to make decisions: It's up to you to decide which course of treatment you want to follow.
- The right to respect: You must be treated with respect regardless of sex, age, race, national origin, sexual orientation, or disability.
- The right to confidentiality: Your health information is private and cannot be released without your consent.
- The right to complain: All providers (insurance, physicians, clinics and hospitals, etc.) must have a grievance procedure.
All fifty states and the District of Columbia have made a ruling enabling patients “Direct Access” to physical therapy services and programs. This means you can contact a physical therapist directly without a physician's prescription or referral.
How do I make payment for each session?
To ensure that you understand your patient pay responsibilities, we recommend that you contact your insurance carrier to determine your coverage, copayments/coinsurance, and overall plan.
At each visit, our staff will assess your insurance benefits and notify you of your payments.
We accept the following payment methods:
- Cash
- Checks
- Debit card
- Credit card
All copays are collected at the time of service, as well as cash-payments for physical therapy. We also provide payment options based on the individual's situation and can provide additional information upon request. A $25.00 fee is charged for any checks that are returned for non-payment.
Is it necessary for my doctor to refer me for physical therapy?
The answer is no!
Direct Access refers to your legal right to be treated by a physical therapist without a prescription or physician referral, so if you don't have a prescription for physical therapy, there is nothing to worry about!
