Please note, Texas is a Direct Access state, meaning a referral for physical therapy is NOT required to start PT. However, we are required to get one to continue beyond two weeks from your first visit. *This is a requirement of our state board, unrelated to insurance. A referral can come from a physician, chiropractor, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, podiatrist, or dentist. Often you may not need to go in for an office visit. However, every provider is different. Referrals can be sent to our fax (855-574-0792) or to our encrypted email inbox (info@latitudept.com).​

Latitude Physiotherapy does not contract with any insurance companies (click here to learn why). However, the payments you make may be partially reimbursable by your insurance company if your plan includes out-of-network physical therapy benefits. If you want to use out-of network benefits, download the Insurance Benefits Worksheet and call your insurance before initiating physical therapy—some insurance companies will deny your claims if you don't follow their instructions carefully. There is a $5 service fee per visit/superbill.

Modern pain science
You may hold some beliefs that aren't consistent with modern pain science, and sadly, you may have also been misled by other medical professionals. This information is especially pertinent to you if you have been dealing with pain for more than a couple of weeks. Even if pain is not the primary reason for coming to physical therapy, a better understanding of its role in your life and how pain works will ultimately help you achieve symmetry and balance in your body. Furthermore, studies have shown that outcomes improve significantly when pain science education is part of your treatment program. Many individuals find relief simply after beginning to understand these concepts!
