Yes, if you do so according to the requirements for recording, signing, and content as set forth in §322.1(a)(3), Methods of Referral. An order may be recorded by a PT, PTA, or any authorized person (such as another professional, an aide, or a secretary) as long as the required information is present. This protects the patient from mistakes that can occur if a procedure is not followed and the order is incorrectly transcribed and communicated.
Institutions or employers may establish policies that are more stringent or explicit than the specific requirements set forth in rule for verbal orders. For example, the Board’s rules do not require you to get a signature from the referral source on a verbal order – though a signature may be required by your employer, a reimbursement source, or your referral source. An entity other than the Board (your employer, Medicare, a referral source, for example) may set other requirements, but they are not part of the licensure rules and do not directly affect your license.
