Do I need a referral or a provider’s permission to get Outpatient Physical and Occupational Therapy (PT/OT)?
By Webmaster / July 15, 2016 /
Yes. Your primary care doctor, or the hospital you are discharged from, may refer you to a physical or occupational therapist to help you recover. You may also go directly to a therapist for care, but that therapist must contact your primary care doctor to get approval for your treatment plan.
Children ages 0 to 3 may receive Outpatient Physical and Occupational Therapy (PT/OT) without a referral if it is coordinated through Early Intervention Colorado.
