(a)
Therapy services offered by a licensee's employees or under a contractual
arrangement with the licensee shall be provided by the following:
(1) A physical therapist;
(2) a physical therapist assistant
functioning under the supervision of a physical therapist;
(3) an occupational therapist;
(4) an occupational therapy assistant
functioning under the supervision of an occupational therapist;
(5) a speech therapist; or
(6) a respiratory therapist.
(b) Each physical therapist,
occupational therapist, speech therapist, or respiratory therapist shall
perform the following:
(1) Make an evaluation
visit to each patient requiring therapy services;
(2) reevaluate each patient's needs on a
monthly basis; and
(3) initiate the
patient's plan of care and make any necessary revisions to the plan of
care.
(c) Any licensee
that does not provide nursing services and provides only therapy services to a
patient may utilize a physical therapist, instead of a registered nurse, to
conduct the initial patient evaluation and establish and update the plan of
care. If nursing services are added after the plan of care is established, a
registered nurse shall conduct a patient evaluation and revise the plan of care
before nursing services are provided.
