Frequently asked questions

What does an occupational therapist do?

Occupational therapists help people of all ages do everyday activities after injury, illness, or with developmental differences — including hand therapy and pediatric therapy.

Do I need a referral to see an occupational therapist?

It depends on your plan. HMO plans (including many Medicare Advantage HMOs) usually require a referral from your primary care provider; PPO plans usually don't. Check your plan documents or call the number on your insurance card.

How do I find an occupational therapist who takes my insurance?

Doctors contract with specific insurance networks, not entire insurance companies — and sometimes only at certain offices. Once you've found a few options here, check them in your insurer's online directory or call the member services number on your card, then confirm with the office when you book.

How do I get my medical records from an occupational therapist?

Under HIPAA you have a right to a copy of your records, usually within 30 days of asking. Contact the practice's medical records department and make your request in writing. Our free guide walks through the process and includes a request letter template.
