Operative words
Ind. Code 16-27-1-16 is waived to allow a home health agency to accept written orders for home health services from any licensed physician, nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist or physician assistant... Solely for purposes of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, any employee of any provider of support to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, older adults, or individuals with mental health needs... is considered a health care provider vital to Indiana's response to COVID-19.
Enforcement
Regulatory waiver; FFCRA health-care-provider designation
Notes
The Governor's FFCRA designation removed paid-leave entitlements for disability and elder-care workers, an employer-directed workforce rule.
