In Michigan, the guidance is in the "Occupational Regulation Sections of the Michigan Public Health Code" and is a softbound � inch manual. Perhaps PA has it organized similarly. A PTA can provide treatment, a physical therapy aide must have "line of sight" supervision from the PT.

Does anyone have the regulations for the role of PT vs PTA
in a SNF for PA? Or, a link to a site where I can find regs?
Thanks in advance,
