What authority sets criteria for certain advanced techniques in physical therapy?

The authority that sets criteria for certain advanced techniques in physical therapy is the Board of Medicine. This board is responsible for regulating the practice of medicine, which includes the oversight of certain advanced interventions that physical therapists may perform. The board establishes standards that ensure the safety and efficacy of these techniques.

In contrast, while the Department of Human Services and the Health Insurance Agency play roles in broader healthcare policy and insurance matters, they do not specifically regulate the practice of physical therapy or set criteria for advanced techniques. The Department of Health is involved in public health and overseeing health professionals but does not specifically address the criteria for advanced physical therapy techniques as the Board of Medicine does.
