Occupational Therapists help people do the activities and tasks that are meaningful to them. That can be anything from getting your clothes on to going to work. As Occupational Therapists (or OTs) are not covered under the regular medical plan we specialize in providing services to those who have an insurance claim. This can be as a result of an automobile accident or through a benefit plan. We can help manage your claim by ensuring that you get the help you need and can assist you in finding your way through the medical system.
