When must documentation by a PTALA be cosigned?

  1. Cosigned the same week by the supervising PT

  2. Cosigned the same day by the supervising PT

  3. Cosigned the same week by the supervising PT and PTA

  4. Cosigned the same day by the supervising PT and PTA

The correct answer is: Cosigned the same day by the supervising PT

Documentation by a PTALA must be cosigned the same day by the supervising PT. This is because the PTALA cannot sign their own documentation and must have it reviewed and co-signed by their supervising PT before it is considered complete and accurate. Having the documentation cosigned the same week (options A and C) or cosigned by both the supervising PT and PTA (option C) may delay the completion and submission of the documentation. Therefore, option B is the most efficient and accurate choice.
