VHCC Rehab now
offers PT direct access
The Rehab Clinic at Versailles Health Care Center is excited to
announce acceptance of direct access for physical therapy. The
year 2014 marked the 10-year anniversary for Direct Access legislation
in Ohio, but many people still don’t know about it. In 2004, Ohio
became the 39th state in the nation to authorize physical therapists to
evaluate and manage patients without a medical referral. Direct
access to physical therapy provides convenience in accessing the
healthcare system. Physical therapy offers the opportunity for
early treatment following an accident or injury. This can reduce
the need for subsequent health care visits, MRIs, prescriptions and the
need for surgery—lowering overall healthcare costs. Insurance
companies understand the value of the physical therapy.
Most insurance policies cover physical therapy services without a
medical referral when provided by a physical therapist. The
physical therapy profession has advanced its education model to the
doctorate level. All accredited physical therapy schools in
the U.S. now offer a Masters or Doctorate degree in physical therapy,
and all PTs must be licensed professionals.
The Rehab Clinic at Versailles Health Care Center has three physical
therapists on staff, Dr. Stephen Winner, Gina Boerger, and Stephanie
Goubeaux. The Rehab Clinic at VHCC offers outpatient and
inpatient physical therapy to people of all ages and offers a flexible
schedule. Specialty programs offered are Sports Medicine,
Orthopedic-Joint Replacement Therapy, Vestibular (Balance) Rehab
Therapy, Pulmonary Rehab, Parkinson’s Therapy Program, Cardiac
Recovery, Stroke Recovery, Continence Improvement, Wound Care, and much
more. If you are interested in learning more about the physical
