It's the law.
Idaho Code · Title 54 · Chapter 22
Physical Therapy Practice Act
Physical Therapy Practice Act
Idaho is one of 21 states that allow patients total, unrestricted access to a licensed physical therapist. No physician referral. No visit limit. No 30-day clock. Just call us and book.
§54-2211
Direct access
Treat without prescription or referral — full evaluation, diagnosis, and plan of care.
§54-2218
Scope of practice
Where care exceeds PT scope, we refer to the right provider. We never diagnose disease or perform surgery.
§54-2205
Licensure board
All Forge clinicians are licensed by the Idaho Physical Therapy Licensure Board, in good standing.
* Some insurance plans (and most Medicare plans) still require a physician referral for reimbursement, even though Idaho law does not. We'll verify your coverage when you call.

Common questions
Before you book.
No. Under Idaho Code Title 54, Chapter 22 — the Idaho Physical Therapy Practice Act — Idaho is an unrestricted direct-access state. You can see a licensed physical therapist directly, with no physician referral, no visit cap, and no time limit. A handful of insurance plans (and most Medicare plans) still require a referral for reimbursement; we'll verify yours when you call.
We're in-network with Blue Cross of Idaho, Regence BlueShield of Idaho, PacificSource, SelectHealth, Mountain Health CO-OP, Aetna, and Medicare. We also work with most out-of-network plans and offer a transparent self-pay rate.
First visits are 60 minutes. Follow-ups are 45–60 minutes. We never double-book — your time with your therapist is your time.
Loose, comfortable clothing you can move in. For lower-body issues, shorts are ideal. We have a private changing room if you need it.
Most patients see meaningful improvement in 4–8 visits. We'll give you an honest estimate after your first appointment — and we'll never keep you longer than you need.
Yes. Many follow-ups, exercise reviews, and consultations work well over video. We'll always recommend in-person when hands-on assessment is needed.
