What’s New in Health Care

Premier Physician Network providers answer frequently asked questions about what’s new in health care.

Are outpatient physical therapy services without a provider referral covered by insurance?

Many insurance companies do not require a provider referral to be eligible for payment of physical therapy services.  Premier Health registration staff will verify if a provider referral is necessary for payment of physical therapy services prior to an individual’s evaluation.  If a physician or provider referral is necessary for payment of physical therapy services, the individual will be notified so that a referral can be obtained.
