This bill seeks to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act, enabling physical therapists to utilize locum tenens arrangements under Medicare. This provision allows a physical therapist to bring in a temporary substitute provider to cover their services, ensuring continuity of care for patients. Specifically, the legislation modifies section 1842(b)(6) of the Social Security Act to apply the same rules for physicians' services furnished by physicians to outpatient physical therapy services furnished by physical therapists. This change will take effect for items and services provided after the date of the Act's enactment, aiming to prevent interruptions in physical therapy services.
