Population/health condition (eg. musculoskeletal, non-complex, etc)
Time (eg. medical referral required if treatment is needed beyond 30 or 60 days)
Training (eg. certification, academic training, or CPD to demonstrate skill necessary to treat patients without referral from a medial doctor)
Other
In cases where additional diagnostic examination is required for insured parties. This examination must be requested by the medical doctor For example, if someone goes to the physiotherapist after a trauma and the physiotherapist shows that the person may have suffered a muscle tear or a bone fissure. The physiotherapist must then request the examination through the medical doctor. In this case, the communication between doctor and physiotherapist cannot always be experienced as pleasant, because the patient first skipped the doctor
