Guest guest Posted October 3, 1999 Report Share Posted October 3, 1999 I was a bit shocked, dismayed, etc when I received a copy of this. It was sent to a Physician on behalf of a patient referred to me from an insurance form. Perhaps this is an every day occurrence and I am living in a delusional state of existence, but here are the questions the Doc was asked... 1- What is the complete diagnosis? 2- What date was the physical therapy prescribed? 3- What specific medical limitations and/ or circumstances necessitated the services of a licensed physical therapist? 4- Are you maintaining continuous control and supervision of the therapy, and if so, to what extent? 5- How often did you prescribe the patient to receive these modalities? 6- What is the anticipated duration of the therapy treatments and at what projected frequency? 7- What is the expected physical benefit from each mode of therapy as it relates to each objective finding and diagnosis? 8- Have the patien's symptoms been maintained at a steady level? If not, wat percentage have they improved? 9- Can any part of the patient's therapy be done at home? If so, explain. My response to most of those questions is simply... 'Just read my chart, the answers can be found there.' But these were sent to the doctor, not to the treating Physical Therapist... Just figured it might be of interest.
