FAQ
Physical Therapy Practice Startup questions
Direct access in my state?
All 50 states allow some form, but visit limits and physician notification vary widely. We map your state's rules.
PTA supervision rules?
Medicare requires direct supervision; state rules vary. Document supervision under your state board's specific format.
Cash-based PT?
Yes — you can structure as cash-pay (with Medicare opt-out for non-covered services). Some practices blend both.
Time to first insured patient?
Typically 4–5 months from credentialing kickoff.
