HB3887

Oklahoma HB3887 removes the thirty-day period for physical therapist referrals, allowing continuous treatment without a new referral.

Oklahoma HB3887 amends the Physical Therapy Practice Act to eliminate the thirty-day period for physical therapist referrals. This change allows physical therapists to evaluate and treat patients without requiring a new referral from a licensed health care practitioner after the initial thirty-day period. The bill also ensures that physical therapists can provide services to children under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act without a referral.
