Our process
Our process starts with a comprehensive assessment which can take 2-3 hours followed up with a report and recommendations. We tailor the recommendations to the needs of the individual and the requests of the insurer. While one person may only require one one-on-one supervised rehab session per week for six weeks, another may require three times per week for 6 and sometimes 12 weeks.
We have demonstrated cost benefits many times. Here are a couple of examples:
