| Your treatment
at HPRC will be initiated by a licensed clinician when you are referred
by a qualified, licensed practitioner. These practitioners include,
but are not limited to, physicians and physician assistants, osteopaths,
dentists, chiropractors, and podiatrists.
Treatment is initiated after a thorough assessment to determine
an appropriate program for the diagnosis and current physical
findings. The majority of insurance carriers require a written
prescription from the referring or primary care practitioner according
to the patient’s policy requirements.
At HPRC, the patient and the therapist review progress at each
appointment in order to make necessary advancements to treatment
and home programs. The therapist communicates a treatment plan
to the patient’s referring doctor and follows with progress
notes to keep the doctor apprised of the patient’s improvement.
When necessary, the therapist may contact the doctor to communicate
the patient’s condition or discuss other available treatment
options. These communication practices are covered in the clinics
HIPAA policies and procedures.
All therapists of HPRC are licensed by the state and practice
within the scope of the individual state's practice act. |
