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.
