Every state now has direct access laws—meaning patients have the power to seek out physical therapy services without first obtaining a physician referral.

But not every state’s direct access laws are the same. Each state has guidance on what PTs can and can’t do under direct access, and some have stricter rules that clinicians need to meet in order to see direct access patients. Making it more complicated is the fact that these laws can be hard to comprehend, and can be updated without any way for you to know. That’s why we’ve done the work of condensing direct access rules for all 50 states into an easy-to-read guide that’s free to download. 

Bringing in direct access patients is a must for PT practices today. Fill out the form below to download The PT’s Guide to Direct Access Law in All 50 States.

"WebPT is more than just and EMR - they are a company who wants private practices to thrive! WebPT strives to continually improve their EMR based specifically on their consumers needs and requests. They are very accessible and customer service is manned by knowledgeable staff whose primary language is english. My practice has utilized the EMR and billing services for almost 4 years. Highly recommend to anyone -even if you are currently utilizing another EMR provider."
“WebPT is a great end-to-end solution. It contains all the proper information for billing, documentation, and status of patients. I highly recommend WebPT to everyone!” “I wish I could recommend WebPT to my friends, but I can’t because all my friends and colleagues already use it. But if you're a therapist who hasn't made the switch yet, I absolutely recommend WebPT!”
"I find WebPT easy to navigate, and most importantly to learn. Our entire staff uses it in some capacity."
"WebPT is at the heart of our business. It’s accelerated our path to success and made us hugely successful as a startup."
"WebPT is very user-friendly and easy to use. WebPT has made it easy to look up ICD-10 codes, and utilizing the smart text increases efficiency in writing up evaluations. WebPT also ensures that the practitioner is adhering to Medicare requirements, which prevents denials. I've been using WebPT for 8 years and have been very happy with it." 
"After using other programs, WebPT has been a breath of fresh air and makes my job as a therapist run more smoothly. It was definitely designed with therapists in mind."
“The WebPT Pediatric Module is user-friendly, intuitive, and continually updated based on feedback from therapists who use it…The fields specific to pediatrics automatically appear when the client’s birthday designates them as under 18.” 
"WebPT will help you grow your practice sustainably and differentiate yourself from other clinics.”
