Bill overview
This bill, the Prevent Interruptions in Physical Therapy Act of 2025, aims to improve access to physical therapy services, particularly in areas where there are shortages of physical therapists. It allows physical therapists to receive Medicare payments for temporary replacements (locum tenens arrangements) provided by other physical therapists, regardless of location. Currently, Medicare payment for these arrangements is limited to specific rural or underserved areas. This change would expand the availability of physical therapy care.
