It’s nice to have a direct relationship with a healthcare provider because you can pick up the phone. You have a team behind you. It’s a true partnership.
About ATI Direct and CONNECT
ATI Direct is an employee benefit solution that gives employees fast, high-quality musculoskeletal (MSK) care by removing access barriers like co-pays and referral delays. Through PT Direct Access laws and ATI CONNECT, our digital MSK clinic, employees can self-refer and start care earlier, often within 24-48 hours.
CONNECT enables a true Click-to-Care experience, starting with real-time digital triage and guided home exercise programs, and seamlessly transitioning to virtual or in-clinic PT when needed. This early access model is grounded in evidence that initiating physical therapy early can reduce overall MSK costs, improve recovery timelines, and prevent chronic issues from escalating.
