FAQs
 

Q: Do you need a prescription for physical therapy from a family doctor?
 

A: Yes and No You do not need a prescription for physical therapy unless you are a patient with MediCare insurace. Since Dr. Cadena is an orthopaedic specialist, patients can receive 15 business days of treatment without a prescription for PT from a family doctor. After the 15th business day of treatment, patients will have to obtain a prescription from their family doctor to continue with their PT sessions.

Q: If I am paying  with cash (no insurance), do I still need a prescription for physical therapy after the 15th business day?

A: Yes, it is a state law. It is not an insurance or a non-insurance policy.
