Physical therapy treatment plans in Florida exempt certain services from requiring a practitioner of record's review and signature.

The bill amends the definition of "practice of physical therapy" in Florida Statutes to exempt certain services from the requirement that a practitioner of record review and sign a plan of treatment. Specifically, it excludes services provided for health promotion, injury prevention, wellness, or fitness. Additionally, it allows physical therapists to implement treatment plans for patients diagnosed by a physician in another state or for conditions requiring treatment beyond 30 days without a practitioner of record's review if the physical therapist consults with the practitioner of record.
