Direct Access

What is Direct Access?

Simply stated, all people in the state of Pennsylvania can see a Certified Direct Access Physical Therapy provider.  Dr. Ciuba has obtained credentials under Direct Access laws.  A patient can be seen for 30 days WITHOUT a prescription from a physician.

The only insurances that do not recognize Direct Access are:

• Medicare
• Motor Vehicle Insurances
• Workers Comp Insurances

The benefits of direct access include:

1. Faster access to physical therapy care to relieve pain and improve function
2. Covered by private insurances
3. Reduce the waiting time to see a doctor
4. Reduce inappropriate recommendations of tests and/or medications
