HB3402

Illinois HB3402 allows licensed physical therapists to conduct initial evaluations via telehealth, subject to certain conditions.

Illinois HB3402 amends the Illinois Physical Therapy Act to allow licensed physical therapists to perform initial evaluations via telehealth when deemed unnecessary based on clinical judgment and applicable standards. Physical therapists or assistants may provide telehealth services under general supervision, with the capacity to facilitate in-person care within Illinois. The standard of care for telehealth must equal in-person care, and patients can request in-person care at any time.
