FAQ
Straight answers
Do I need separate authorization with a CA-16?
DOL guidance says physical therapy related to the work injury doesn't need separate authorization when a CA-16 is issued. We still verify before your first session.
What if my claim isn't accepted yet?
Call us. Bring whatever paperwork you have, and we'll walk through your options before treatment starts.
How often will I come in?
Most plans start at two to three visits a week and taper as you improve. Your plan is set after the evaluation.
Are you part of the Department of Labor?
