Appointments and Referrals

Getting Started: Information for Patients
The best way to get started is to Request a referral for physical or occupational therapy from your doctor. A physician referral is not required to participate in therapy but most insurance companies require a physician referral before they will cover these services. Regardless of who refers you, where you go for therapy is up to you. So, do your research and find a therapy practice that is convenient for you and staffed with therapists that are qualified to address your particular needs.
