FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DO I NEED A PHYSICIAN’S REFERRAL?
Vermont is a Direct Access State which means you can see a physical therapist with or without a referral for most commercial insurance plans. Medicare, Medicaid, Auto and Worker's Compensation Insurances will require a referral before you can be scheduled.

Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT).
DO YOU HAVE A NO SHOW/LATE CANCELLATION FEE?
Due to having a long waiting list and to be respectful of other patients who need care and the time for your therapist to prepare for your visit, we do charge a no show/late cancel fee. In the event that you miss, cancel, and/or reschedule an appointment in less than 24 hours, you will be charged a $50 fee due at or prior to your next scheduled appointment. We also reserve the right to not see you if you are 15 minutes late or more and your appointment will be rescheduled and the no-show fee will be applied. If you arrive without your script from your doctor and is required by your insurance, this fee also applies. The fee is waived if cancellations are due to personal illness or inclement weather. This policy ensures we can see all patients in a timely manner and deliver high quality medical care to those in need. Thank you for your understanding.
**If you have 2 no shows and/or 3 late cancellations for your appointments we also reserve the right not to continue to treat you as a patient and you may be referred elsewhere for your care.
