BILL NUMBER: S3762
TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the workers' compensation law, in
relation to physical therapy care provided through the workers'
compensation system
PURPOSE :
To allow physical therapist assistants to provide care under the
workers' compensation system.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section 1 would allow physical therapist assistants to provide care in
the workers' compensation system. Section 2 is the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION :
Physical therapists assistants play an integral role in the delivery
of physical therapy care. The vast majority of payers cover the
services rendered by physical therapist assistants in recognition of
the skill and value of physical therapist assistants. The Workers'
Compensation Law, however does not cover physical therapy care
delivered by physical therapist assistants. To correct this oversight,
this bill would include physical therapy care rendered by physical
therapists as covered services under the Workers' Compensation System.
