Subp. 2. Covered services.

To be eligible for medical assistance payment, the services specified in items A and B that are provided by a rehabilitation agency must be ordered by a physician, must be related to the recipient's physical impairment, and must be designed to improve or maintain the functional status of a recipient with a physical impairment:

Subp. 3. Eligibility as rehabilitation agency service; required site of service.
