Indiana's law is the same way regarding PT.

NPs  supposedly are unable to write for PT in Missouri, too, which I just
found  out recently. I haven't had time to research it yet, but my PT friends
say  it is written into the state PT regs that they can only eval and  treat
following an order from a physician. Yeah, it's goofy that we can  order
meds, but not PT. Give me a break!

Does anyone out there from Michigan  (Sue?) know what exactly the deal behind
NP's ordering it Michigan  is?  How did it come to be that I can't order it?
Is it a Medicare or  reimbursement issue?  Are NP's in other states
prohibited?  It  just drives me nuts that I can order for someone to have
dangerous  medications, but not some PT for their ankle  sprain.
