Arizona HB2583 allows physical therapists to order imaging and laboratory tests and report results to patients.
Arizona HB2583 amends the state's board of physical therapy regulations. It allows licensed physical therapists to order imaging and laboratory tests, which must be performed and interpreted by authorized health care practitioners. Physical therapists must report the results of these tests to the patient. If the patient lacks a health care practitioner of record, the physical therapist must refer the patient to an appropriate practitioner if symptoms suggest conditions beyond the physical therapist's scope of practice.
