Commenter: Allison Szuba, Adult Care Center of Central Virginia

Adult Day 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:

Recommendation:

Revise language to include "or designee".
