Amends TCA Title 63.
Tennessee HB2021 amends the scope of practice for podiatrists by expanding their ability to examine, diagnose, and treat soft tissue ailments of the lower leg, specifically allowing treatment of soft tissue distal to the tibial tuberosity rather than being limited to structures no higher than the distal tibial metaphyseal flair. This change affects licensed podiatrists in Tennessee and potentially expands the range of services they can provide to patients with lower leg conditions. Key provisions include the revised definition of the anatomical limits of treatment for podiatrists.
