Memberships / What's included
Physical therapy
Book it yourself. No referral, no approvals, nothing extra at the session.
Part of Primary and Comprehensive.
Direct access
Montana is a direct-access state, which means you do not need a doctor's referral to see a physical therapist. Under CoreMed you do not need an approval either. You call the clinic and book.
That removes the two things that usually turn a tweaked back into a chronic one: waiting for a referral, and finding out afterward what the visit cost.
What it is good for
Post-surgical rehabilitation, sports injuries, back and neck pain, joint problems, balance and mobility work, and the nagging things people normally live with because getting seen felt like too much trouble.
How often
As often as your therapist thinks is useful. There is no session cap and no per-visit charge, so the course of treatment is a clinical decision rather than a budget one.
Where you can get this
11 providers across 5 CoreMed regions.

Do I need a referral?
No. Montana allows direct access to physical therapy, and CoreMed does not add an approval step on top.
Is there a limit on sessions?
No session cap. How many you have is between you and your therapist.
Does it cost extra?
No. Sessions with a CoreMed network physical therapist are part of the membership.
Can I see a therapist in a different region?
Yes. Any CoreMed network therapist will see you, and several are telehealth-capable for follow-ups.
