Happened Last Month!
On Tuesday, March 27, the Pennsylvania House passed House Bills 1832 and 1833, legislation that would eliminate the state’s co-signature requirement, allow PAs to sign any form a physician can and allow PAs to begin practicing after filing a practice agreement with the appropriate state board of medicine. Determining co-signature policy at the practice or facility level is one of AAPA’s Six Key Elements of a Modern PA Practice Act.
Modernizing the PA Practice Act has been a top goal of the Pennsylvania Society of Physician Assistants this legislative session. The legislation was unopposed and now moves to the senate.
Nice to know that our "John Hancock" is just as equalivent as our Supervising Physicians!
