22VAC 40-61-260 A
 

ADHC Proposed regulation: 22VAC 40-61-260 A Physical Examination

Stating that exam must be completed within the last thirty (30) days by a licensed physician. 

Comment:

This language is antiquated in our current healthcare landscape. Physician Assistants are commonplace in medical offices and often see patients to perform the physical exams. 

Recommendation:

Revise language to include "or designee" OR revise language to “licensed healthcare professional.”
