New York A11220 eliminates the joint visit requirement for supervising licensed physical therapists and assistants in home care and school settings.

New York A11220 amends the education law to redefine continuous supervision for physical therapist assistants. It removes the requirement for joint visits between supervising licensed physical therapists and assistants with patients in both home care and school settings. Instead, continuous supervision now includes setting goals, establishing a plan of care, and periodic treatment and evaluation by the supervising licensed physical therapist, with intervals not exceeding six patient visits or thirty days.
