Do I need a referral for physical therapy in Utah?

No. Utah allows direct access to physical therapists, so you can book a self-pay evaluation without a physician referral. Some insurers still require one for coverage, but that doesn't matter if you're paying cash.

Why do physical therapy prices vary so much in Salt Lake City?

Across the 10 Salt Lake City-area providers we track, the highest published physical therapy price is about 5× the lowest. Hospital outpatient departments add facility fees that independent clinics and imaging centers don't charge, and different procedure codes (such as with or without contrast) are priced separately.

Where do these prices come from?

Published prices come from hospital price-transparency files required by the CMS Hospital Price Transparency Rule and from self-pay rates that clinics post or send us. Patient-reported prices are what individual patients told us they actually paid in cash. We show the two separately and never average them together.
