Introduced by: Christopher T. Head | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Physician assistants; practice agreement exemption; elimination of practice ratio for physicians and physician assistants. Allows physician assistants practicing in hospitals, certain facilities operated by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, or federally qualified health centers designated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to practice without a practice agreement if the credentialing and privileging requirements of the applicable facility include a practice arrangement, as described in the bill. The bill also eliminates the practice ratio for physicians and physician assistants; under current law, patient care team physicians and patient care team podiatrists are not allowed to collaborate or consult with more than six physician assistants at any one time.
