What makes ION different
More than access to a PT network
Traditional PT networks may focus primarily on access and scheduling. ION adds licensed clinical oversight throughout the therapy episode, actively managing care from referral through completion.
- Clinical review on every case
- Clinician-to-clinician communication
- Therapy prescription management
- Ongoing progress review
