PT1 November 2017 Christy Hiltz, PT PT011338 [email protected] Dear Ms. Hiltz: This letter is in response to your correspondence regarding whether a physician prescription is required for students under an IEP. Ohio Physical Therapy Practice Act does not vary with practice setting. Section 4755.481 of the Revised Code authorizes physical therapists to evaluate and treat without a physician’s referral. The physical therapist must, upon consent of the patient, parent, or legal guardian, inform the patient’s medical health professional of the physical therapy evaluation within five (5) business days of the evaluation having taken place. These laws and rules apply to all settings, and have been in effect since 2004. As section 4755.481(A) (2) (b) states that physician notification, within five business days with patient consent, is not necessary if the patient previously was diagnosed with chronic, neuromuscular, or developmental conditions and the evaluation, treatment, or services are being provided for problems or symptoms associated with one or more of those previously diagnosed conditions, physician notification would not be necessary for ongoing treatment of students with established developmental conditions in schools. In addition, there is nothing in the law that requires the physical therapist to see a patient without a physician’s referral. The physical therapist does have the discretion to request a prescription. The Section thanks you for your correspondence and appreciates your understanding that it is your professional responsibility to remain current with professional standards. Please visit the Board’s website (http://otptat.ohio.gov) to review the Physical Therapy Practice Act and other information related to the regulation of physical therapy in Ohio.

PT2 November 2017 Kathryn Appleby, SPTA [email protected] Dear Ms. Appleby: This letter is in response to your correspondence regarding whether physical therapist assistants can perform special tests/retest, including Neer's impingement, Hawkin's-Kennedy, FABER, anterior drawer. Insert response In accordance with rule 4755-27-02 (A) of the Ohio Administrative Code, the physical therapist assistant is a skilled, technical person who assists in physical therapy treatment as assigned by the physical therapist. These duties are carried out under the supervision, as defined in division (D) of section 4755.40 of the Revised Code and rule 4755-27-04 of the Administrative Code, of the physical therapist to whom the assistant is responsible. It is the position of the PT section that a physical therapist assistant must produce evidence of appropriate training and demonstrate knowledge and competency in any procedure, treatment, or service that the supervising physical therapist delegates to that individual. The supervising physical therapist must be able to demonstrate competency in any procedure or service that has been delegated. That is, the supervising physical therapist may not delegate treatments, procedures, or services to a physical therapist assistant or other licensed personnel if the supervising physical therapist cannot demonstrate knowledge and competency in the procedure, even if the physical therapist assistant or other licensed personnel can demonstrate knowledge and competency in the procedure. While the PT section acknowledges that PTAs can perform special tests as delegated by the PT and in accordance with the above, we further communicate that the PTA is not qualified or authorized to interpret the results of such special testing as that is considered evaluative in nature. The Section thanks you for your correspondence and appreciates your understanding that it is your professional responsibility to remain current with professional standards. Please visit the Board’s website (http://otptat.ohio.gov) to review the Physical Therapy Practice Act and other information related to the regulation of physical therapy in Ohio.

PT4 November 2017 Melissa Dunnagan, PTA PTA05570 [email protected] Dear Ms. Dunnagan: This letter is in response to your correspondence regarding private pay clients and selecting appropriate clients for caseloads. Insert response It is the position of the PT Section that pursuant to section 4755.47 (A)(5) of the Ohio Revised Code, all licensed physical therapists must follow the code of ethical conduct for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants established in rule 4755-27-05 of the Ohio Administrative Code. Paragraph (B)(5)(e) of this rule states that “Providing treatment interventions that are not warranted by the patient’s condition, or continuing treatment beyond the point of reasonable benefit to the patient” would be a “failure to adhere to minimal standards of practice, whether or not actual injury to a patient occurred.” The Physical Therapy Section recommends that the primary physical therapist evaluate whether self-pay maintenance services are of “reasonable benefit to the patient.” The Section thanks you for your correspondence and appreciates your understanding that it is your professional responsibility to remain current with professional standards. Please visit the Board’s website (http://otptat.ohio.gov) to review the Physical Therapy Practice Act and other information related to the regulation of physical therapy in Ohio.

PT5 November 2017 Kathleen Johnson, PT PT001588 [email protected] Dear Ms. Johnson: This letter is in response to your correspondence regarding supervising and cosigning notes for physical therapist assistants. Insert response Rule 4755-27-03(E)(6) of the Ohio Administrative Code states that “All documentation shall be co-signed by the supervising physical therapist” but does not specify time requirements for co-signing the physical therapist assistant’s notes. It is the position of the physical therapy section that the urgency of reviewing and co-signing notes may vary with the patient population and with the acuity of the patient’s condition. The physical therapist should be able to demonstrate that effective supervision was provided for the particular patient care delegated to the physical therapist assistant. To the extent that the co-signing of the note(s) in question represents providing timely documentation in the case of non-availability of the evaluating PT due to vacation or unforeseen absence, the PT section concurs with signature of that documentation performed by a PTA by a "covering" PT. The signing PT then assumes responsibility for that treatment encounter as the ultimate responsibility for care of the patient lies with the physical therapist. If the original evaluating PT will no longer be involved in the care of that patient, that evaluating PT must document transfer of care to an alternate competent PT. Abandonment is the inappropriate termination of a physical therapist/patient relationship by the physical therapist. Abandonment is generally alleged when the relationship is severed without reasonable notice at a time when the patient continues to require care. It is the position of the Physical Therapy Section that physical therapists have a legal and ethical obligation to make every effort to follow through with the plan of care established for the patients. Pursuant to section 4755.47 (A)(5) of the Ohio Revised Code, all licensed physical therapists must follow the code of ethical conduct for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants established in rule 4755-27-05 of the Administrative Code. Paragraph (B)(5) of this rule states that “a licensee shall adhere to the minimal standards of acceptable prevailing practice. Failure to adhere to minimal standards of practice, whether or not actual injury to a patient occurred, includes, but is not limited to: (h) Abandoning the patient by inappropriately terminating the patient practitioner relationship by the licensee.” Paragraph (B)(12) of this rule states “a licensee shall transfer the continuum of care of the patient, as appropriate, to another health care provider in the event of elective termination of physical therapy services by the licensee.” Section 4755.47 (A)(5) of the Revised Code authorizes the Physical Therapy Section to take disciplinary action against a physical therapist who violates any of the provisions contained in rule 4755-27-05 of the Administrative Code. The Section thanks you for your correspondence and appreciates your understanding that it is your professional responsibility to remain current with professional standards.
