Direct Access

We help you get back in the game

Start your Treatment Right Away!

Did you know that through Direct Access, you are able to see a Physical Therapist without a prescription in the state of New Jersey?

Since 2003, under the Public Laws of New Jersey, in most cases, a referral will not be required to start your Physical Therapy care. Now you can have your injuries evaluated and treated immediately by an NJ licensed Physical Therapist.

How it works:
Treatment for any musculoskeletal injury. Your “Professional” Physical Therapists can treat that acute or chronic shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, neck, back, hip, knee, ankle, or foot injury right now! Under Direct Access, we have the authorization to treat you for up 30 days. Upon completion of your Physical Therapy Evaluation, we will determine your Treatment Plan. If further diagnostic tools (e.g., x-ray, MRI, etc.) are needed to ensure proper care, your physical therapist will communicate our findings with the physician of your choice. If treatment is required past 30 days, the physical therapist will communicate our care to your physician.

Any person in New Jersey is eligible to be seen directly by a Physical Therapist and most commercial insurance companies will cover these charge.

In most cases, Medicare patients may receive physical therapy services without seeing a physician or obtaining a referral first. However, once a therapist determines that therapy is, in fact, necessary then at that point the patient must be under the care of a physician or NPP.

Worker’s comp / No fault and MVA’s are not covered.

And Our Patients Agree

  • Dr. Scerbo's support staff was professional and knowledgeable and other physical therapists working with Dr. Scerbo appeared to be very competent. Plaudits to Scerbo Physical Therapy!

    Harvey Berkey Patient
  • All in all, who would think that physical therapy could be a great experience? It was at Scerbo.

    Natalie Robbins Patient
  • Approaching my second hip replacement, I am not dreading my rehab. If this seems like an over-the-top endorsement, it is. Because it's all true. Patients leave Scerbo Physical Therapy with a big smile. Oh, and less pain.

    Patricia N. Emmy Award winning writer Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lily Tomlin, Rhoda etc.
  • Overall, this is a PT place I recommended to friends and family members if they needed physical therapy and none have been disappointed with their treatment. To me this is exceptional care combined with truly empathetic and wonderful people.

    Nancy Flogaites Patient
  • They made me feel like a friend, not a patient. They were gentle and understanding when the therapy was painful. I have the highest regard and deepest respect for Dr. Frank Scerbo and his team. They did for me what no medication could accomplish. Their professionalism and caring were the perfect prescription to ease the pain and speed my total recovery. I'm forever grateful.

  • I highly recommend everyone from Scerbo PT all the way from the front desk office administrators down to the PT aides.
