Physical Therapy Treatment Plans; Exempting specified services from the requirement that a physical therapist have a practitioner of record review and sign a plan of treatment, etc.
Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDPhysical therapists must normally get a practitioner of record -- a physician, osteopathic physician, chiropractor, podiatrist, or dentist in active practice -- to review and sign a treatment plan for any condition not already assessed by one.
Physical therapy services provided for health promotion, injury prevention, wellness, or fitness no longer need that sign-off at all under a new exemption, joining the existing exemption for out-of-state diagnoses.
AIA physical therapist no longer needs a practitioner of record to review and sign a treatment plan when the services are provided for health promotion, injury prevention, wellness, or fitness, rather than treating a diagnosed medical condition.
