It depends on the method of supervision used by the physician. If the supervising physician adopts written protocols that specifically guide the action of the PA, the physician must select, review, sign and date at least 10% of the medical records of patients treated by the PA within 30 days. If protocols are not in place, then the supervising physician must either • examine the patient the same day as the care is provided by the PA or • countersign and date all medical records of all patients cared for by the PA within 30 days.  more
