In the specialized field of rehabilitation, a generic agreement isn't enough to protect your practice or license. Physical therapists in Texas must navigate the complexities of the Physical Therapy Practice Act while ensuring compliance with Texas-specific at-will employment and non-compete statutes under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50. This contract template mitigates common industry risks such as reimbursement disputes, patient injury claims, and license revocation by establishing clear professional boundaries, functional assessment responsibilities, and robust confidentiality clauses for protected health information (PHI).

These define the scope of practice under the State Physical Therapy Board guidelines and require mediation or arbitration to resolve disagreements over treatment protocols or functional assessments without immediate litigation.
Yes, unless otherwise specified for a fixed term, the contract aligns with Texas labor standards as an 'at-will' relationship, allowing either party to terminate the agreement while adhering to the specified notice periods to ensure continuity of patient care.
