Do I need a doctor's order?
Texas is a direct access state, which means you do not need a physician’s referral to be evaluated and treated by a physical therapist for the first consecutive 10 business days. If your treatments are exclusively coaching in nature (wellness based), you do not need a physician referral.
Do you accept insurance?
Physical therapists working for Unconstipated Kids are considered out of network, and are cash-based providers. This allows ample time for evaluation and treatments that would otherwise be restricted by insurance reimbursement requirements.
Do you accept Medicaid?
Medicare/Medicaid prohibits non-Medicare/Medicaid providers from accepting cash for clients that are covered under Medicare/Medicaid. Physical therapists treating for Unconstipated Kids do not participate in Medicare/Medicaid, and therefore can only see clients on Medicare/Medicaid for coaching (wellness) services only. Coaching (wellness) physical therapy is not reimbursable by Medicare/Medicaid and services would be paid for directly by the client.
I don’t live in Texas. Can you still help me?
