Kansas Improves Patient Access to Physical Therapists
This
week APTA announced in a press release that Kansas
became the latest state to improve patient access to physical therapists. Gov
Sam Brownback signed HB 2066 into law on March 28, easing burdensome referral
requirements that impede timely care from skilled physical therapists.
Achievement of direct access in all 50 states has been a longtime and
fundamental goal of APTA.
