A physical therapist is unsure about the legal and liability risks of a cash-pay arrangement where they evaluate a patient and supervise a PTA providing follow-up visits, especially regarding need for PTA note sign-off and required legal forms.

No clear guidance or accessible information exists for PTs entering cash-pay arrangements with PTAs, specifically around supervision requirements, PTA note sign-off, and liability forms.
