Does the restriction for PTA’S AND OTA’S seeing a patient with Tricare apply to SLPA’S too?
Yes!
I thought we were getting closer to a 1/1/20 start date? What’s the hold up? So sad, I have a OTR going out on maternity leave and will be cancelling most of her patients because I only have COTA to cover.
It’s not a top priority for the Department of Defense.
Are PT/OT/speech students able to treat Tricare patients?
TRICARE only allows physical therapists and occupational therapists to treat their members.
