Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm in Indiana and was wondering if an OT can legally perform treatments/and bill for services for a pt. after they are evaluated by a physical therapist/PT order only.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 You would want to read your state practice act. Most state practice acts, if. It all, do not allow a PT to supervise an OT or COTA or an OT to supervise a PT or PTA.
