DIRECT ACCESS TO PHYSICAL THERAPY IN TEXAS
DIRECT ACCESS & REFERRALS
In Texas, you can see a licensed physical therapist for up to 30 days without a physician's referral. This means you can start treatment soon after an injury or when pain begins instead of waiting for an appointment with another provider.
Getting care early can reduce pain, improve recovery, and help prevent minor problems from becoming more serious.
After 30 days, a physician's referral is required to continue treatment. Some situations, such as post-surgical rehabilitation or certain complex medical conditions, also require coordination with your physician from the beginning.
At True Grit Physical Therapy, we work closely with local physicians, surgeons, and other healthcare providers to make sure you receive safe, coordinated care whenever a referral is needed.
BILLING
True Grit Physical Therapy is primarily an out-of-network, cash-based practice. The only exception is Medicare. This allows us to provide personalized care without many of the restrictions that insurance companies place on treatment.
Payment is due at the time of your visit.
If you have private insurance, we're happy to provide a detailed receipt (called a superbill) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. The amount you're reimbursed depends on your individual insurance plan and benefits.
If you have questions about our rates, billing, or insurance reimbursement, call us at 325-480-3488. We'll be happy to walk you through the process.
WHY CHOOSE A CASH-BASED PT?
Choosing a cash-based physical therapy practice gives you more control over your care. Instead of treatment being directed by insurance rules, your care is based on your goals and what your therapist believes is best for your recovery.
More One-on-One Care
Every visit is focused entirely on you. Your therapist has the time to perform a thorough evaluation, provide hands-on treatment, teach exercises, and answer your questions. This personalized approach often helps patients recover more quickly and may reduce the total number of visits needed.
Fewer Insurance Restrictions
Insurance plans often limit the number of visits, require prior authorization, or only cover certain treatments. A cash-based model removes many of these barriers, allowing your treatment plan to be based on your needs instead of insurance requirements.
Faster Access to Treatment
Because Texas allows direct access to physical therapy, many patients can begin treatment within 24–48 hours. Early care can reduce pain, speed recovery, and help prevent small injuries from becoming larger problems.
Treatment That Fits Your Goals
Whether you're recovering from surgery, returning to sports, managing back pain, or improving everyday movement, your treatment plan is designed specifically for you. Your therapist can adjust your care based on your progress instead of insurance guidelines.
Clear, Upfront Pricing
With a cash-based practice, you'll know the cost of your care before your visit. There are no surprise bills or confusing insurance statements. If you have out-of-network benefits, we'll provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Our goal is simple: provide high-quality, individualized physical therapy that helps you recover faster and return to the activities you enjoy.
