How often should I reassess my patient?

Clinician's discretion; every ~4 weeks or 3-6 sessions

When determining when and how frequently to reassess your patient, it is up to your clinical discretion. The following may be considered:

• The patient-report
  • If the patient reports improved (or reduced) ability to participate in activities of daily living
  • If patient symptoms are improving (or worsening)
• Your targeted plan of care
  • What will your frequency of services be? How often will you have the opportunity to reassess?

• Payors and Providers
  • If your patient requires additional justification for insurance authorization 
  • If your patient is scheduled for a follow-up with the referring provider 

Generally, a reassessment is recommended every ~ 4 weeks or between 3-6 treatment sessions.
