VA Community Care Statement

Effective Date: 18APR2026

Saber Tactical Performance & Rehab is proud to support veterans through the VA Community Care Network (CCN). This page explains how VA referrals work, what services are covered, and how veterans can request our clinic as their preferred provider.

1. Acceptance of VA Community Care Referrals

We accept referrals for physical therapy services through the VA Community Care Network.

Veterans may request Saber Tactical Performance & Rehab as their preferred provider during their VA appointment.

Once authorized, all physical therapy services are:

• Covered by the VA

• Scheduled directly with our clinic

• Documented according to VA standards

• Only the minimum necessary PHI required by the VA is included in HSRM submissions.

• Submitted through HSRM

• VA‑authorized physical therapy services are HIPAA‑covered. Performance Coaching and other non‑medical services are not subject to HIPAA and are stored separately.

There is no cost to the veteran for authorized PT visits.

2. What VA Referrals Cover

VA Community Care authorizations apply only to:

Physical Therapy (Medical Services)

• Evaluation

• Diagnosis

• Treatment

• Medical decision‑making

• Rehabilitation

• Progress documentation

• Communication with VA providers

These services follow all VA and state practice requirements.

We use AI‑assisted documentation tools for medical note generation. These tools process only clinician‑entered information and do not access or use client media without consent.

3. What VA Referrals Do NOT Cover

The VA does not cover non‑medical services.

The following remain self‑pay:

Performance Coaching

• Strength & conditioning

• Tactical performance development

• Movement optimization

• Readiness training

• Non‑medical assessments

Readiness scores and performance metrics are non‑medical and are not included in VA documentation.

Physical therapy services do not determine duty status, return‑to‑duty clearance, or occupational qualification.

Hybrid Sessions

Hybrid Sessions include both medical and non‑medical components.

Because VA authorizations apply only to physical therapy, Hybrid Sessions are not billable to the VA.

Hybrid Sessions are always self‑pay, even if part of the session includes physical therapy.

Dry Needling Add‑On

Dry needling is not covered unless explicitly authorized by the VA (rare).

In most cases, it remains a self‑pay add‑on.

4. How Veterans Can Request Saber Tactical

Veterans may request Saber Tactical Performance & Rehab during their VA appointment by stating:

“I would like my Community Care referral sent to Saber Tactical Performance & Rehab.”

The VA provider or Community Care coordinator will then:

1. Submit the referral

2. Generate an authorization

3. Send documentation through HSRM

4. Notify the veteran when approved

Eligibility, authorization, and visit limits are determined solely by the VA and may vary based on VA policy.

Once the authorization is active, we will contact the veteran to schedule.

5. Scheduling and Documentation

For authorized PT visits:

• We schedule directly with the veteran

• We follow VA documentation standards

• We submit all required notes through HSRM

• We communicate with VA providers as needed

Veterans do not need to bring paperwork unless instructed by the VA.

6. Adding Non‑Medical Services

Veterans may choose to add non‑medical services (Performance Coaching or Hybrid Sessions) at their own discretion.

These services:

• Are optional

• Are self‑pay

• Do not affect VA‑authorized PT care

• Are kept legally and operationally separate

This ensures full compliance with VA and state regulations.

7. Contact Information for VA Providers

VA providers may send referrals through:

• HSRM (HealthShare Referral Manager)

• Fax: [Insert fax number once assigned]

• Phone: (719) 466-1488

We respond promptly to all VA communications.

Email and text communication may not be fully secure. By contacting us electronically, you consent to communication through these channels.

8. Commitment to Veteran Care

Saber Tactical Performance & Rehab is committed to providing:

• High‑quality, evidence‑based physical therapy

• Tactical‑specific rehabilitation

• Clear communication with VA providers

• Respectful, veteran‑centered care

We are honored to serve those who have served.
