Bill > HF424

This bill allows for the practice of certain physician assistants without supervision by a physician. Key provisions include: - Defining "independent practice" for physician assistants as practice organized as a professional corporation or limited liability company. - Removing the requirement for physician supervision of physician assistants after the first two years of practice, and instead requiring collaboration between the physician assistant and an appropriate member of the healthcare team. - Allowing physician assistants to prescribe, dispense, order, administer, or procure prescription drugs, controlled substances, or medical devices necessary to complete a course of therapy, with rules adopted by the board of physician assistants. - Repealing sections that previously required physician supervision of physician assistants. The bill aims to provide more flexibility and autonomy for qualified physician assistants to practice collaboratively within the healthcare system.
