What Is Direct Access Physical Therapy in Florida?

Quick Answer

Florida is a direct-access state: a licensed physical therapist may evaluate and treat you without a physician referral for up to 30 days. After that window, Florida law requires a referral from a licensed physician, dentist, podiatrist, or ARNP to continue. Insurance is separate — many plans still want a referral or a signed plan of care before they reimburse. This clinic offers same-week appointments, not walk-in same-day PT.

What the 30-day rule means in practice

You can book a first evaluation at All In One Specialty Health in Miami Gardens without waiting on a specialist appointment. If you need care beyond 30 days, we help you obtain the referral your case requires. Red-flag symptoms (fracture concern, unexplained weight loss, progressive neurological loss, infection signs) still belong with a physician first.

Insurance vs. the statute

Direct access is a practice-act rule, not a blank check from your payer. We verify benefits before treatment and tell you if the plan wants a referral. We do not promise a 24–48 hour authorization. Medicare typically does not require a referral to start but does require a physician to sign the plan of care within a set window.

FAQ

Does this clinic accept Medicaid? No. All In One Specialty Health does not accept Medicaid. See the insurance we accept.

Can I start after a car accident? Often yes, and Florida PIP has a separate 14-day window to see a qualifying provider. Read the PIP guide.

Is the evaluation in Spanish? Yes. Bilingual physical therapy.

Quick answer

Can I start physical therapy in Miami Gardens without a doctor's referral?

Yes for many adults. Florida allows a licensed physical therapist to evaluate and treat without a physician referral for up to 30 days. After 30 days, a referral from a physician, dentist, podiatrist, or ARNP is required to continue. Your insurance plan may still require a referral or a signed plan of care before it pays. Medicare does not use the same referral rule as commercial plans; a physician must still sign the plan of care. Call (786) 613-7160 so we can check both the law and your benefits. This is not same-day walk-in care.
