Physical Therapy at The Queen’s Medical Center

Becoming a Queen’s Rehab Patient

Outpatient Rehabiliation Services:

Most therapy services are initiated via referral from either a physician, APRN, or Physician Assistant. In Hawaii, laws allow for patients to access Physical Therapy, and Speech Therapy without a referral from a Physician. While legal, not all insurance plans cover PT and Speech services if they are initiated without a referral. Please contact us and we will help you determine if your insurance plan allows for you to receive our services without a referral, or if you should seek out a referral from an approved provider. All Occupational Therapy services require a physician referral to initiate care*.

Referral forms for therapy are available here:

*Queen’s accepts all rehab referral forms, including those intended for non-Queen’s clinics. For example, if your doctor completed a therapy referral for company “x” in the community, and you elect to receive your services from Queen’s, in most instances we will be able to accept that referral.

Inpatient Rehabilitation Services

In the hospital setting, therapy services are initiated by members of the care team who will determine what types of rehabilitation services you will require prior to and after discharge. If you or a loved one are hospitalized and you believe rehabilitation services may be beneficial, please consult with your care team providers to determine the best course of action.
