Patient Referral
Patients may refer themselves for occupational therapy; however, they will be responsible for the cost of their treatment. Insurance carriers will not pay for self-referrals to occupational therapy. Most insurance carriers will cover occupational therapy services, but they must be referred through a physician.

Physician Referral
In order to refer a patient for occupational therapy at St. Helena Hospital, physicians must write a prescription for occupational therapy evaluation and treatment. If requested, occupational therapists will contact the physician to discuss the patient's treatment options.
