goodlooks58 -> DCs joining MDs to provide PT (September 10, 2007 2:51:49 AM)
|
There are 2 Urgent Care clinics who have difficulty recruiting PTs to work so they are hriing DCs and calling it PT and Rehabilitation. In CA is this legal? i.e. without a licensed PT on staff and calling it PT? Also is it leagally ok for a MD (physician) hring another physician (DC) to provide PT? I wonder where do these MDs find attorneys to draw up these ventures?!!Yes, I have read on this post about DCs stating that the modalities are not "owned by PTs", however, a DC doing modalities and calling it PT is kind of questionable in my simple mind. I have sent this question out to the fraud investigator in the PT chapter of CA as any concerned citizen should do.
