You may be referred by your primary care provider or by a specialist, like an orthopedist.

Most insurance plans require a referral from your primary care provider as well.

Minimally, prescriptions must contain the following information: your name, your specific diagnosis, and the service you need (e.g. physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy). 

A prescription may also include specific treatments your physician wishes you to have, as well as the frequency and duration of treatment.

Prescriptions presented at the time of your evaluation must be signed and dated within the past 30 days.

Referrals for physical therapy services in the pool must state "pool therapy" or "aquatic therapy."
