Bill > HB1370

This bill authorizes nurse practitioners to play a more significant role in managing diabetes care for patients, specifically allowing them to act as the "certifying physician" for comprehensive diabetes management when working under a collaborative relationship with a physician, and to prescribe therapeutic shoes, modifications, and inserts for individuals with diabetes, all in accordance with guidelines from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a federal agency that administers Medicare and Medicaid.
