No, you do not need a referral to see a physical therapist in New York State. Anyone can be evaluated and treated by a PT for 30 days or 10 visits without a referral. If additional visits are required, we can easily contact your physician to obtain a referral for continued care.

Drive Physical Therapy is a cash-based, out-of-network provider, which allows us to spend more time with you and provide the quality care you deserve. We charge each visit upfront and provide a detailed bill to present to your insurance company for reimbursement. Many clients receive partial to 100% reimbursement, though we cannot guarantee reimbursement at time of service. This model means fewer total visits—typically 1-2 times per week for 4-6 weeks instead of 3 times per week for 6-8 weeks at insurance-based practices—saving you time and money long-term.

Our appointments are scheduled for 60 minutes. We do not double book or overlap patient appointments in order to provide exclusive one-on-one care. Every minute of your appointment is spent working directly with a Doctor of Physical Therapy focused entirely on your recovery.

Yes, you may use your HSA or FSA account for physical therapy services. Simply bring your card to provide payment at the time of service.
