Physical Therapy without a Prescription
As of October 1, 2006, Connecticut
became the 41st state to allow you, unless your
injury is part of a workers’ compensation claim, to
seek physical therapy treatment without a physician’s
referral. A provision of the law requires objective,
measurable, functional improvement within
30 days or 6 visits, or the treating physical
therapist is required to refer you to a physician.
So if you
have an injury or other condition causing pain
or limited function, physical therapy may be
helpful. If you have been injured and would like
a physical therapy evaluation before you see your
physician, please call one of Moore’s offices
for a consultation. We will treat you until you can
get in to see your regular physician or we will refer
you to a physician if you do not already have one. |
