The referral must be written on either a DVA Request/Referral Form (Form D904) or official practitioner’s letterhead or referral pad.
All referrals must include:
- Name of the veteran to whom the services will be provided
- DVA file number of the veteran
- Referrer’s provider number
- Date of referral

The referral must be forwarded to the HIC with your first claim for payment under that referral. Ensure that you also keep a copy for your own records.
Only one referral for eligible veterans to receive physiotherapy services can be active at any one time.
