Welcome to maXum Therapy
For our patients who have CHOC Health Alliance Insurance – they require us to have our patient’s physician sign our reports stating they agree with our plan of care. Please be on the lookout for reports from this insurance type and send back to us timely to ensure a quick authorization turnaround.
Typically we see patients 12 years and older at our Adults Clinic. If they are under 12 but are a typically developing child and have strictly some type of orthopedic ailment, please also refer them to our Adults Clinic as long as they can follow typical instructions for strengthening and exercises. If the patient has any type of neurological condition or are not typically developing, please refer them to our Pediatrics Clinic if they are under 18 – our Pediatrics Clinic specializes in developmental delays and neurological conditions with children and adolescents.
We treat offsite at the YMCA in Fullerton. Our therapists may or may not enter the water so we typically treat Adult patients only for safety purposes. If a child or adolescent is referred to participate we will evaluate them here in our clinic to see if they would safely benefit from our Aquatic Therapy services. Aquatic Therapy is typically in a group setting of 5-10 patients at a time working on exercises in a weightless environment.
We require our evaluation CPT codes to be accurate before evaluating a patient. If a referral is sent to us with incorrect codes, it can delay the patient being seen for their evaluation if a modification of an authorization is needed so it is important to request correctly the first time. Our codes vary based on type of insurance (Medi-Cal, Medicare, PPO, HMO, Workers’ Comp, etc). If you have questions regarding referrals and evaluation codes or authorizations please contact 714-646-8319 opt 1 and ask to speak with our authorizations department
