Bill Summary

AN ACT TO ADJUST THE SUPERVISION ARRANGEMENT OF PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS AND TO MAKE VARIOUS CHANGES TO THE LICENSURE OF PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS.

AI Summary

This bill aims to adjust the supervision arrangement of physician assistants (PAs) and make various changes to their licensure. It defines a "team-based setting or team-based practice" where PAs can practice without a direct supervisory arrangement with a physician. To qualify for team-based practice, PAs must have substantial clinical experience and work in certain healthcare facilities or medical practices owned by physicians. These team-based PAs can prescribe, order, administer, and procure drugs and medical devices without physician authorization, and can authenticate documents like death certificates. The bill also clarifies the roles and limitations of PAs, such as prohibiting them from performing final interpretations of diagnostic imaging studies.
