In 2015, the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) required health insurance plans to cover physical therapy. This means that if you want to receive physical therapy services from a provider who does not accept Medicare or Medicaid, your plan must pay for them as if they were a medical procedure.

The ACA also requires that all plans cover “medically necessary” treatments for certain conditions and life-threatening injuries. These include treatment of pain caused by fractures and dislocations; joint problems; spinal cord injuries; strokes; traumatic brain injury (TBI); diabetes mellitus type 2; cancer chemotherapy side effects like nausea/vomiting/diarrhea etc.; mental illness including depression/anxiety disorders such as panic attacks etc..

People with Oscar Insurance Coverage usually do not need a referral from their primary care physician (PCP) to see a physical therapist.

PPO members usually do not need a referral from their primary care physician (PCP) to see a physical therapist. This is because PPO plans are more flexible than HMO plans, which require referrals from PCPs before allowing members to see any type of healthcare provider outside of their own network.

PPO members can go directly to a physical therapist without having first obtained permission from their PCP or the HMO’s medical director.

If you have Oscar Health Insurance coverage and want to see a physical therapist, you will need to first get approval from your PCP.

You may be covered by an Oscar Health plan, but your primary care physician does not need to provide a referral for every appointment with a physical therapist.

If you have an HMO plan, and your doctor schedules you for physical therapy at the same time as seeing other patients or with other providers, then it’s fine for them to call in one of their own physicians rather than referring you directly to a physical therapist. This can get confusing because there are so many different kinds of insurance plans out there! But if the insurance company has approved coverage for physical therapy services through their network of providers (which will vary from state-to-state), then they’ll cover those visits as well as any costs associated with transportation and parking fees involved in getting from home/work/etc., including mileage reimbursement on Lyft or Uber rides taken during office hours when going between appointments (which may not always apply).
