Occupational Therapy Services Agreement Template

What Is the Occupational Therapy Services Agreement?

This occupational therapy services agreement creates a professional framework for your therapeutic relationship. It defines scope of services, documents informed consent, establishes payment terms and cancellation policies, and ensures HIPAA compliance for all client interactions.

The agreement addresses the unique aspects of OT practice, from adaptive equipment recommendations to home exercise programs. Whether you work with pediatric development cases, stroke rehabilitation, or workplace ergonomics, this contract protects both parties while maintaining the flexibility clinical work requires.

 

Is This Occupational Therapy Services Agreement Right for You?

You need this agreement if you're:

• Starting an OT practice and need client contracts
• Providing home-based or mobile therapy services
• Offering telehealth occupational therapy sessions
• Working with private-pay clients outside insurance networks
• Treating pediatric, geriatric, or specialty OT populations
• Recommending adaptive equipment or home modifications

You definitely need this agreement if:

• Clients miss appointments and you lose income without a cancellation policy
• You face disputes over what services were included or fees owed
• Insurance claims are denied and clients refuse to pay remaining balances
• You provide home exercises but clients don't follow through then blame you
• You lack written HIPAA compliance documentation for your practice
