Minnesota is a “direct access” state. You can receive service for physical therapy needs without a doctor’s referral. If you plan to seek reimbursement for services from your insurance company, I suggest you consult your plan carrier to see if they require a doctor’s referral.
Regarding pelvic rehabilitation: While your insurance may allow you to attend rehabilitation without a prescription or referral, it is beneficial to have a provider managing your overall health care. Many conditions, especially those involving the pelvis can be medical in nature and may require ruling out of more serious conditions before coming to the clinic. It is also helpful to have a medical provider with whom we can coordinate care and discuss your health as a team.
