A practical telehealth PT checklist for Oregon

APTA advises clinicians to review the applicable state physical therapy licensure law and board regulations or rules before practicing through telehealth. For patients, that makes official license and board resources a sensible first verification step.

1. Verify the professional

Use Oregon Board of Physical Therapy resources to check current authorization.

2. Confirm virtual-care fit

Ask how the provider determines whether telehealth is appropriate and when in-person evaluation may be needed.

3. Check privacy and technology

Confirm the visit platform, privacy process, connectivity needs, and what happens if the connection fails.

4. Confirm cost and access

Ask about fees, insurance or payment requirements, referral requirements, scheduling, and cancellation terms.
