Medicare
Physical therapists in private practice are listed among the individual practitioners who enroll on the CMS-855I.
Texas Medicaid
Physical therapists must be enrolled according to their specific licensure. A licensed therapy assistant is not eligible to enroll as a therapy provider.
Enrollment in Texas Medicaid comes before any Medicaid managed care plan can enroll you; each plan then contracts and credentials separately.
Licensure
Physical therapists are licensed by the Executive Council of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Examiners (ECPTOTE).
Clinics
For clinic-level enrollment, see physical therapy clinics.
