Do I need a referral or prescription to start the therapy with RPT in Home?

No. Florida is a direct access state, meaning you are not required to see a physician before consulting a physical therapist for an examination and treatment. A prescription for therapy is optional and encouraged by the patient's doctor. This means the patient can either contact their M.D. first and request a prescription to be faxed to us, or they can contact us directly, and we can secure a prescription from the M.D. Please give us a call at (954) 860-3117 for more information.

What is the difference between in-home outpatient therapy and home health therapy?

Home health physical therapy is billed under Medicare Part A, while in-home outpatient physical therapy is billed under Medicare Part B.

The patients we work with do not have to be homebound, unlike those who need home health services.
