Direct Access
Recover Faster and Reduce Healthcare Costs with Direct Access
Did you know you can go directly to a physical therapist in Elmhurst and Chicago, IL when dealing with pain or physical symptoms that affect your daily life? It doesn’t matter if you’re dealing with an old or new problem. In Illinois, you can schedule a visit with one of our therapists at Vitality Women’s Physical Therapy to get help sooner than later.
Direct Access refers to the ability of patients to seek and receive physical therapy services without needing a referral or prescription from a physician or other healthcare provider. This allows patients to access physical therapy services more quickly and efficiently, potentially leading to faster recovery and reduced healthcare costs.
Direct Access benefits patients in several ways:
- Faster access to care: Patients can immediately consult with our Vitality Women’s Physical Therapy physical therapists without waiting for a referral, allowing treatment to begin sooner and potentially experience faster recovery times.
- Reduced healthcare costs: Direct Access can eliminate the need for multiple appointments with different healthcare providers, thereby reducing overall healthcare costs. Early intervention through physical therapy may also prevent the need for more expensive treatments, tests, or procedures later on.
- Streamlined care: Our physical therapists are highly trained healthcare professionals who evaluate and treat musculoskeletal and movement-related issues. Direct Access allows you to receive specialized care from the most appropriate healthcare provider, resulting in more focused and effective treatment.
- Enhanced patient autonomy: Direct Access empowers you to take greater control over your healthcare decisions and choose the most appropriate care for your needs.

FAQs
Are you in-network with my insurance company?
We are in-network with BlueCross BlueShield PPO. We will submit your claims to BCBS and then bill you for any outstanding charges due.
We are currently out-of-network with all other insurance companies. In this case, we ask that you pay for your treatment at time of service. You will be provided with an invoice that can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement as many carriers offer out-of-network coverage. Contact our clinic to discuss self-pay rates.
Can I choose any physical therapy clinic for treatment?
Absolutely!
"The Patient's Bill of Rights" empowers you to select the physical therapy clinic of your choice. You are not obligated to follow a physician's recommendation; no medical practitioner, insurance company, or other entity can force you to attend a specific clinic.
We offer a supportive environment with well-trained, friendly staff. As a patient, you have the right to choose the facility for your physical therapy. We are confident that Vitality Women's Physical Therapy will provide the highest quality care to help you achieve your goals.
At Vitality Women's Physical Therapy, we are committed to ensuring that you have the freedom to choose the physical therapy clinic that best meets your needs and the convenience of accessing our services without any unnecessary delays.
Do I need a doctor’s referral for physical therapy treatment?
No, you don't!
Thanks to Direct Access regulations, you can visit a physical therapy clinic of your choice and receive the treatment you need without a prescription or referral from a doctor. All fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the US Virgin Islands now grant patients "direct access" to physical therapy services, including evaluations and treatments. In some cases, though state law doesn't require a referral, your insurance will require a referral. We recommend you call your insurance about this before initiating treatment.

Does my insurance cover telehealth physical therapy at Vitality?
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois expanded access to certain covered services through telehealth, or other remote methods, to ensure members were able to maintain access to care.
BCBSIL has elected to not make any changes to its coverage of telehealth services for its insured members when the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency ends on May 11, 2023. Members will continue to be able to access their medically necessary, covered benefits through providers who are able and willing to deliver services through telehealth.
If you are an out-of-network patient at Vitality, telehealth will be a self-pay option in the same fashion as before the crisis, however, if you plan to submit for reimbursement using your out-of-network benefits, you may want to call your insurance company to verify whether telehealth services will be reimbursed.
