Physical Therapy Treatment Plans; Exempts specified services from requirement that practitioner of record review & sign plan of treatment.
Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDPhysical therapists no longer need a doctor, or other eligible practitioner of record, to review and sign a treatment plan when the services are for health promotion, injury prevention, wellness, or fitness rather than treating a diagnosed medical condition.
Outside that new carve-out, the existing rule is unchanged: a physical therapist treating a condition no doctor has assessed yet must still get a practitioner of record to review and sign the plan, unless the patient was already diagnosed by an out-of-state physician.
AIA physical therapist providing services for health promotion, injury prevention, wellness, or fitness does not need a practitioner of record to review and sign a plan of treatment, unlike when treating a diagnosed medical condition.
