California is currently a direct-access state for physical therapy treatment. This means that you can get started with PT without a referral, however after 45 business days following the date of your initial PT evaluation, or 12 visits, whichever hits first, you will need to obtain a PT referral from one of the following providers: physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, chiropractor, podiatrist (for foot/ankle problems), or a dentist (for oral/TMJ problems). If you have questions on how to obtain a referral, our staff is happy to assist with this process and answer any questions you may have.

Billing:

Athletic Edge Physical Therapy is a a fee-for-service, cash based practice which allows each session to be delegated by your specific needs rather than your insurance contract. This means that we do not take insurance, however we are more than happy to provide the necessary information you need to file to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement or to be applied towards your deductible. Reimbursement will vary based on your specific insurance provider and out-of-network PT benefits. 

Payment for PT services at Athletic Edge PT are due at the time of services rendered. If you have any questions regarding our billing processes, rates, and/or how to file for insurance reimbursement please call our office manager at 858-371-2575.
