Oklahoma Needs Direct Access to PT


Oklahoma is one of the last few states where patients are prohibited by state law from seeking physical therapy services unless they are referred by another health care provider. Eliminating the referral requirement is one step to making care more accessible to more people.

What is Direct Access?

Direct access to physical therapy is your opportunity as a patient to be evaluated and treated by a licensed physical therapist without first seeing your physician for a prescription. Direct access can save time and money, thereby expediting your treatment, relief, and recovery.
