How do I write a script for physical therapy? Your referral only needs to include the patient's main complaint, e.g. “low back pain” and your name and credentials. The physical therapist will evaluate the patient and determine the classification, cause and appropriate treatment plan for the patient.
Why Refer to Physical Therapy. There are many reasons why a person might need PT. The most common patient complaint is pain, and approximately 75% of all patients referred to outpatient PT have pain as their primary symptom.
One of the most common misconceptions about physical therapy is that you need a referral to schedule an appointment. While needing a referral depends on a variety of factors, all states now have some level of direct access allowing quicker entry into therapy.
A referral is not required for a physical therapist to evaluate or prevent disability, injury, disease or other condition of health. The physical therapist providing preventive care must maintain a record of activities undertaken with each client and these may not be billed as physical therapy treatment.
Get Your New York License This is fast compared to other occupational therapy licenses across the United States. PT: It typically takes four to eight weeks to receive your physical therapy license in New York. This is slow compared to other physical therapy licenses across the United States.
Address and date: Include both the sender's and recipient's details at the top, just like in any formal letter. Patient information: Name, date of birth, and contact information. Reason for referral: Outline the purpose of the referral. Medical history: Summarize relevant medical conditions, surgeries, or treatments.
Talk about how they listened and cared and how they helped you. Be specific - that will add to the authenticity and value. Even better if you have had PT elsewhere mention how this was better (but don't mention the other clinic name).
