  Telemedicine Legislation Signed into PA Law

On Wednesday, July 3, Pennsylvania Governor, Josh Shapiro, signed into law the “Telemedicine Act.”   This law authorizes the regulation of telemedicine by Commonwealth of Pennsylvania professional licensing boards and provides for insurance coverage of telemedicine.  As defined in this Act, the PA State Board of Physical Therapy now has the authority to regulate the use of telemedicine by physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. 

This law will go into effect in 90 days.  APTA-Pennsylvania will provide more information and summarize details of the Act as information becomes available.
