Bill > SB807

This bill amends existing West Virginia law to allow physician assistants (PAs) to own practices and form professional corporations and limited liability companies, expanding their business ownership opportunities. Specifically, it adds physician assistants to the list of professionals who can form medical corporations, allowing them to be shareholders. It also designates physician assistants as a "professional service" eligible for establishing a professional limited liability company, which is a business structure that offers liability protection to its owners. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the Board of Medicine can deny or discipline PAs who make unlawful referrals when they have a financial interest in the referred entity, a provision aimed at preventing conflicts of interest.
