    Speaker Notes:

    Medical treatment is the management and care of a patient to combat disease or disorder. Medical treatment does not include visits to a PLHCP solely for observation and counseling, including follow-up visits.

    Medical treatment also does not include diagnostic procedures, such as x-rays, blood tests, or MRIs. Use of prescription medications for diagnostic purposes is also not considered medical treatment; for example, prescription eye drops used to dilate the pupils.

    Finally, medical treatment does not include first aid procedures.
