What's New

ALERT

The Kentucky Board of Physical Therapy has been notified of a scam targeting our licensees and certificate holders.  The scam has also been reported by licensees of other State Physical Therapy Boards.

Licensees have reported receiving phone calls 'spoofing' the Kentucky Board of Physical Therapy phone number, which makes calls appear as though they are coming from us.
 
The licensee is threatened with an investigation by the Board and/or the FBI, and the scammer demands personal information or money to resolve it.
 
The Kentucky Board of Physical Therapy will not contact you to demand money or personalized information. The Board DOES NOT accept payments over the phone. If you believe that you may owe a balance to the Board, you can confirm this balance and receive the most up-to-date information by calling the Kentucky Board office.

If you do receive a call of this nature, please contact the Kentucky Board of Physical Therapy directly at (502) 429-7140 to inquire if there’s a valid, official reason for the call.
