APTA Requests Comments on Telerehab Clinical Practice Guideline

Note: This article covers an advocacy effort from 2023 related to APTA’s proposed telerehabilitation clinical practice guideline. The public comment period has since closed. For current guidance on Remote Therapeutic Monitoring, including billing requirements, CPT codes, documentation tips, and practical use cases, please see our comprehensive RTM article.

The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is requesting comments on their proposed clinical practice guideline (CPG) for telerehabilitation, which must be submitted by July 3rd, 2023. The proposed CPG contains a set of 7 recommendations providing guidance to physical therapists on the impact, preparation, and implementation of telerehab. You can make your voice heard by reviewing and commenting.

The APTA supports the development of practice guidelines to reduce unnecessary variation and improve the quality of care provided by physical therapists. Other CPGs being developed by the APTA can be reviewed on their CPG website.
