Post-Surgical PT After a Car Accident: A Surgeon's Referral Guide for Florida

After a car accident, your surgical patients leave with a plan of care that depends on consistent physical therapy. But the usual outpatient referral assumes the patient can drive, sit in a car comfortably, and keep a standing appointment across town. For a patient fresh out of surgery after a crash, those assumptions often fail — and the plan of care fails with them.

PT Near Me exists for exactly this gap. We are a Florida in-home physical therapy practice. A Florida-licensed physical therapist — or a licensed PTA working under DPT supervision — treats the patient at home, on the schedule your protocol requires.

• Post-surgical auto-accident patients: fractures, post-surgical rehab, and other crash-related procedures once the surgeon clears the patient for therapy.
• Non-surgical crash patients: whiplash, back and neck injuries, shoulder and knee injuries, and concussion-related mobility issues.
• Patients anywhere in Florida — our clinicians travel to the patient's home or workplace.

We bill the patient's auto insurance for crash-related care. We do not bill regular health insurance or Medicare. Our intake team verifies coverage before the first visit is scheduled, so neither your office nor the patient is surprised later.

1. Send the referral through our secure form, by phone, or by fax. Include the patient's contact information, diagnosis, surgical procedure and date, and any precautions or protocols.
2. Our intake team contacts the patient, verifies auto-insurance coverage, and schedules the in-home evaluation — typically within 48 hours.
3. The evaluating therapist confirms your protocol and precautions with your office before treatment begins.
4. You receive the initial evaluation report, periodic progress notes, and the discharge summary by secure fax or email.

Every referral produces a paper trail back to your practice: the initial evaluation, progress notes at regular intervals, and a discharge summary when the plan of care is complete. Records requests are turned around within two business days. And if we cannot reach or schedule your patient, your office hears from us — no silent drop-offs.
