The Provider Guide to Mobile Concussion and TBI Testing
We diagnose. You treat. This guide explains how Florida practices refer patients, host testing days and receive physician-reviewed diagnostic reports.
Who this is for: Written for Florida physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists and practice managers who see accident patients with possible head injuries.
Key takeaways
- Concussion after a crash is easy to miss when the visit centers on neck and back pain.
- Referral is simple: patient details, injury date, symptoms and preferred language.
- Testing happens at your office; a visit typically takes 30 to 60 minutes.
- Physician-reviewed diagnostic reports return typically within 48 hours, or 7 to 10 days with labs.
- You stay the treating provider and decide on care.
When to consider a referral
Accident patients often arrive focused on musculoskeletal pain. Headache, fogginess, light sensitivity, sleep changes or irritability that persist or worsen are reasonable prompts to consider standardized concussion testing. Research from the TRACK-TBI study found that many people seen in emergency departments for mild TBI did not receive follow-up care.
We diagnose. You treat.

What you receive
A physician reviews the results and prepares a physician-reviewed diagnostic report for you, the treating provider. We do not provide treatment guidance; you decide on care. Reports typically return within 48 hours, or 7 to 10 days when labs are included.
