Purpose or general idea of bill
To extend chapter 534 of the laws of 1993, due to expire June 30'h, for an additional 4 years.
Summary of specific provisions
Amends section 2 of chapter 534 of the laws of 1993 to extend the provisions of this chapter for an additional 4 years to June 30, 2014.
Justification
Chapter 534 of the laws of 1993 authorized physical ther- apy assistants to provide services in home care settings. These services are allowed when the supervising physical therapist establishes a program of care for a patient, has an initial joint visit with the patient and the physical therapy assistant, periodically evaluates and treats such patient and provides a final evaluation to determine if the treatment plan should be terminated. This program has been successfully in place since 1993 and should be continued.
