We do not process insurance claims directly. We do, however, give you the patient, two insurance payment options:
Option 1: If patients want to submit with an outside billing company, we refer you to a company who will process your claims for a 10% fee.
Option 2: We will email an invoice to you with everything you will need to submit the claim to your insurance company directly.
In the state of California, Direct Access laws are in effect for patients that want to pursue Physical Therapy. You no longer need a doctor’s referral to see a physical therapist, due to the recent change in the law AL- 2012 you can have direct access to Physical Therapists without a doctor referral.
Please have your physician fill our Physician Referral Slip and bring to your first visit.
Four visits are highly recommended to see progress and appropriately teach new ways of movement.

You will be set up for a 60 minute initial evaluation by a licensed physical therapist (see our About Us page for information on our staff). We will discuss in detail what brought you to Core Connections Physical Therapy, your personal goals you would like to achieve while working with us, and your medical history. Your physical therapist will complete a series of observations, functional tests, and manual assessments to create a treatment plan going forward; for example measuring flexibility and strength, assessing joint, spinal mobility, and soft tissue restrictions as well as your ability to perform specific functional activities. Following the initial examination, your physical therapist will review their findings with you and discuss an agreeable treatment plan and therapy goals. Our mission is to help you fully recover mobility, strength and function integrating various physical therapy and Pilates methods. The number of visits and time will vary individually.
