Illinois Administrative Code › Title 68 - PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS › Part 1325 - ORTHOTICS, PROSTHETICS AND PEDORTHICS PRACTICE ACT › Section 1325.40 - Supervision

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Non-licensed
			 caregivers (assistants, technicians, residents, or students) may provide
			 orthotic, prosthetic, or pedorthic services only under the supervision of a
			 licensee under the Act. All services must be performed pursuant to the
			 supervisor's order, control, oversight, guidance and full professional
			 responsibility. The following sets forth four levels of supervision and
			 identifies the supervisory relationship between the licensed orthotist,
			 prosthetist, or pedorthist and other non-licensed orthotic, prosthetic, or
			 pedorthic caregivers.
1) Independent - The
			 licensed caregiver is qualified to provide independent, unsupervised, direct
			 patient care as well as confer or consult with colleagues, physicians or other
			 allied health professionals in providing patient care within the scope of
			 practice.
2) Indirect Supervision -
			 The non-licensed caregiver is qualified to provide patient care independent of
			 a licensee; however, the licensed supervisor must review and countersign all
			 entries in the patient's clinical record within 15 working days following the
			 delivery of care. The supervisor must be physically available for consultation
			 within 60 minutes during the delivery of care.
3) Close Supervision - The non-licensed
			 caregiver is qualified to provide patient care independent of the designated
			 clinical supervisor (licensed orthotist, prosthetist, or pedorthist); however,
			 the supervisor must personally review the assessment and care rendered. The
			 supervisor must be physically present in the facility and available for
			 consultation throughout the delivery of care. The supervisor is responsible for
			 countersigning all entries in the patient's clinical record.
4) Direct Supervision - The non-licensed
			 caregiver is not qualified to provide patient care independent of the
			 designated clinical supervisor (licensed orthotist, prosthetist, or pedorthist)
			 and is only qualified to provide care under supervision. The supervisor must
			 review the results of care rendered by the supervised individual before
			 dismissal of the patient. The supervisor is available for consultation
			 throughout the patient care process. The supervisor is responsible for
			 countersigning all entries by the caregiver in the patient's clinical record
			 before dismissal of the patient.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 68 - PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS › Part 1325 - ORTHOTICS, PROSTHETICS AND PEDORTHICS PRACTICE ACT › Section 1325.45 - Classification of Devices

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The
			 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMMS) Common Procedure Coding
			 System (HCPCS) is used as a universal coding database for orthotic, prosthetic,
			 and pedorthic devices. To determine the appropriate level of supervision, the
			 following categorizations are used:
1) "Custom
			 fabricated and fitted device" means an orthosis, prosthesis, or pedorthic
			 device fabricated to original measurements and/or a mold for patient use in
			 accordance with a prescription and that requires substantial clinical and
			 technical judgment in its design and fitting. Licensees or non-licensed
			 caregivers under direct or close supervision of a licensee should provide
			 custom fabricated and fitted devices.
2) "Custom fitted device" means a
			 prefabricated orthosis, prosthesis, or pedorthic device sized and/or modified
			 for patient use in accordance with a prescription, and that requires
			 substantial clinical judgment and substantive alteration for appropriate use.
			 Licensees or non-licensed caregivers under close or indirect supervision of a
			 licensee should provide custom fitted devices. Custom fitted devices are
			 sub-classified as "high complexity" or "low complexity".
A) Custom fitted device (high complexity): A
			 prefabricated orthosis, prosthesis, or pedorthic device sized and/or modified
			 for patient use in accordance with a prescription and that requires substantial
			 clinical judgment (involving high clinical assessment and patient management
			 skills) or substantive alteration (involving medium technical implementation
			 skills) for appropriate use.
B)
			 Custom fitted device (low complexity): A prefabricated orthosis, prosthesis, or
			 pedorthic device sized and/or modified for patient use in accordance with a
			 prescription and that requires substantial clinical judgment (involving medium
			 clinical assessment and patient management skills) or substantive alteration
			 (involving low technical implementation skills) for appropriate use.
3) "Off-the-shelf device" means a
			 prefabricated orthosis, prosthesis or pedorthic device sized and/or modified
			 for patient use in accordance with a prescription and that does not require
			 substantial clinical judgment and substantive alteration for appropriate use.
			 Licensees or non-licensed caregivers under indirect supervision of a licensee
			 may provide off-the-shelf devices.
4) "Over-the-counter device" means a
			 prefabricated, mass-produced device that is prepackaged and requires no
			 professional advice or judgement in either size selection or use, including
			 fabric or elastic supports, corsets, generic insoles, elastic hose.
			 Over-the-counter devices do not require the supervision of a
			 licensee.
