Sec. 16. (a) A licensed home health agency may accept written orders for home health services from a physician, a dentist, a chiropractor, a podiatrist, or an optometrist licensed in Indiana or any other state. If the physician, dentist, chiropractor, podiatrist, or optometrist is licensed in a state other than Indiana, the home health agency shall take reasonable immediate steps to determine that:
(1) the order complies with the laws of the state where the order originated; and
(2) the individual who issued the order examined the patient and is licensed to practice in that state.
(b) All orders issued by a physician, a dentist, a chiropractor, a podiatrist, or an optometrist for home health services:
(1) must meet the same requirements whether the order originates in Indiana or another state; and
(2) from another state may not exceed the authority allowed under orders from the same profession in Indiana under IC 25.
As added by P.L.146-1996, SEC.3.
