When will the provisional prescriptive authority applications be available to physician assistants?
The legislation requires that the Board adopt rules to regulate this process. This involves a two part process that could take up to 1 year from the effective date of the legislation. First, the PAPC has up to 6 months from the effective date to make initial recommendations to the Board regarding physician delegated prescriptive authority. Then the Board, after receiving the initial recommendations, has up to 6 months to adopt rules for physician delegated prescriptive authority and issuance of certificates to prescribe.
