A referral names a clinic. It doesn’t make that clinic your only option. If you’re heading into an ortho appointment, a doctor’s visit, or recovery from an injury on the hill, you get to choose a physical therapist in Summit County or Eagle County, and you’re allowed to ask for Axis Sports Medicine by name.
In Colorado, many insurance plans let you start physical therapy without a doctor’s referral first. Even when a referral is required by your plan, you still choose which clinic provides the care; the referral is not a binding assignment.
Insurance coverage varies by provider and plan, so this isn’t one-size-fits-all. An Axis Patient Coordinator can verify your specific benefits before your first visit, so there are no surprises with your billing.
Three sentences cover most of it:

No, for private pay, but you may need one for insurance coverage. Many insurance plans allow direct access to physical therapy, meaning you can schedule an evaluation before seeing a doctor. Some plans still require a referral for coverage, so it’s worth a quick call to your insurer or to an Axis Patient Coordinator to confirm your specific plan.
You can still choose Axis. Let your doctor’s office know where you’d like the referral sent, or ask them to write it as a general physical therapy referral so you can pick the clinic yourself.
We accept most insurance plans. Coverage varies by plan and provider, so please contact an Axis Patient Coordinator to verify your specific benefits ahead of your first appointment. We’re also happy to talk through self-pay options.
Whether you’re scheduling your first appointment or transferring from a different provider, the process is the same: call the location closest to you, or ask your doctor to send your referral our way.
Our Patient Coordinators handle the insurance verification, the paperwork, and the scheduling, so the only thing you need to bring is that one sentence: I’d like to see Axis Sports Medicine.
