How to Verify Your Coverage in 5 Minutes

1. Call us at (973) 689-7123 with your insurance card in hand
2. We verify your physical therapy benefits, copay, deductible status, and any visit limits in real time
3. We confirm whether your plan requires a doctor referral (most do not for the first 30 days under NJ direct-access law)
4. You walk in for your first visit knowing exactly what you owe — no surprises

No Doctor Referral Needed in New Jersey

Under New Jersey's direct-access law, you can begin physical therapy without a physician referral for the first 30 days of care. After 30 days, most plans require a referral to continue. We help you obtain one quickly through your primary care doctor or one of our partner physicians.

This saves most patients 2 to 3 weeks compared to waiting for a referral first.

Workers' Compensation and Auto / PIP Patients

If your injury was work-related (workers' comp) or from a motor vehicle accident (auto / PIP / no-fault), your treatment is covered with $0 out-of-pocket cost to you. We handle all the authorization paperwork and billing directly with the insurance carrier or attorney.

• Workers' Comp: Bring your case number and the name of your adjuster — we handle the rest
• Auto / PIP: Bring your auto insurance information and the police report (if applicable)
• Attorney-represented cases: We coordinate directly with your attorney's office

Out-of-Network and Self-Pay Options

If your plan is not in-network with us — or if you prefer self-pay for privacy reasons — we offer:

• Transparent self-pay rates — published, no surprises
• Out-of-network superbills — you pay us at the visit and submit to your insurance for reimbursement (most PPO plans reimburse 50–80% after deductible)
• HSA / FSA accepted — physical therapy is a qualified medical expense
