Physical Therapy Direct Scheduling Now Available
Direct scheduling allows Veterans to schedule appointments with physical therapists without requiring a referral from their primary care provider. This initiative aims to improve access to care, reduce wait times, and enhance the overall patient experience. It is part of broader efforts to offer timely and efficient healthcare services to Veterans.
For more detailed and up-to-date information, you might want to visit the official VA website or contact your local VA facility. Here are some key points generally associated with direct scheduling for physical therapy: Eligibility: Not all Veterans may be eligible for direct scheduling. Eligibility criteria can include factors like the specific medical condition, patient history, and VA policies.
How to Schedule: Veterans can often schedule their physical therapy appointments directly by contacting the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Service at their local VA facility either by phone or through online patient portals like My HealtheVet.
Services Available: Direct scheduling typically covers a range of physical therapy services, focusing on rehabilitation, mobility improvement, pain management, and recovery from injuries. Please make sure to consult directly with a VA representative or check the VA’s official communication channels for the most accurate and personalized information.
