Why Choose ATI Direct?

ATI Direct gives your workforce faster access to physical therapy — no co-pays, no delays — so they recover sooner and your organization spends less.

The Most Comprehensive MSK Solution

ATI Direct helps employers make high-quality musculoskeletal care easier to access while reducing unnecessary healthcare utilization and MSK-related costs. Through ATI Direct and CONNECT, employees and covered dependents can quickly connect to the right level of care without common barriers such as referral requirements or long wait times. Employees can self-refer to physical therapy where Direct Access laws allow, while ATI CONNECT provides real-time MSK screening, triage, and care navigation to help them get started right away.

Designed to work alongside existing benefits and healthcare programs, ATI Direct combines a nationwide network of clinics, virtual care capabilities, and dedicated support services into a single, easy-to-implement solution. From care navigation and scheduling assistance to ongoing reporting and account management, ATI Direct provides employers with the tools and support needed to drive engagement, improve outcomes, and better manage MSK costs.

The Right Treatment at the Right Time

ATI Direct provides members with the right care at the right time. 70% of MSK episodes will not require additional intervention such as surgery, pharmaceuticals, injections, imaging, and specialty visits.

Consistent, Evidence-Based Care

Using outcomes-based medical data rigorously collected from over a million patients, we create individual treatment plans for each patient that lead to predictably better outcomes.

Easy Access to Care

The best way to reduce MSK spend is to address issues before they become more complex and costly. ATI Direct gives employees fast, convenient access to physical therapy, helping improve outcomes and avoid unnecessary imaging, injections, specialist visits, and surgery.

Swift and Seamless Implementation

Our streamlined onboarding process makes rolling out the program to your company simple and gets your employees and their families on the road to living with better physical health from the moment of implementation.

Better Access. Better Outcomes. Lower MSK Costs.
