Q: If I am interested in being treated at RehabWorks, how can I become a patient?
Mallory Payne, OTR/L Manager
To begin treatment at RehabWorks, a provider referral is required in most cases for insurance approval. This referral can come from your primary care provider or a specialist. Once the referral is received, our team will assist with insurance verification and scheduling to make the process as smooth as possible. If you have questions about the referral process or are unsure where to start, our staff is happy to help guide you every step of the way.
