Bill Summary
Relative to limited service clinics. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 51J of Chapter 111 in Massachusetts law to allow physician assistants, in addition to practitioners, to provide services at limited service clinics. Limited service clinics are healthcare facilities that offer a limited range of services, such as immunizations or basic medical care, rather than comprehensive medical care. The inclusion of physician assistants in this provision enables them to practice in these specialized settings, potentially expanding access to certain healthcare services.
