Making an Appointment
Scheduling an appointment at Rehabilitex, Inc. is quick and easy. Most patients can be scheduled within a few days of making the initial call.
Before scheduling an appointment you will need to follow these steps:
|
 |
|
Step 1
|
Direct Access or Referral
In the state of Ohio you have the right to see one of our Physical Therapists without a prescription from a physician. Most insurance companies will pay directly for our services and we will confirm this prior to your visit. The exception to this are patients on Medicare or Worker's Compensation, they must still obtain a written prescription or referral from a doctor. In the state of Ohio we can accept referrals from Medical Doctors, Chiropractors, Dentists, and Podiatrists. The prescription/referral must include your diagnosis and specific orders from your physician on what treatment he/she is ordering. The prescription/referral must be signed by the ordering physician.
