New rules for APRNs and PAs by the Texas Medical Board
June 9th, 2010 by Taralynn Mackay | Print
There are new prescriptive delegation rules drafted by the Texas Medical Board and many physicians, APRNs or PAs may not be aware of the changes. The rules apply to prescriptions, delegation by physicians, practice sites, and review of charts. One of the big areas that can impact an APRN or PA is the requirement for registration (the forms and further info can be found on the Medical Board’s website). Physicians that delegate prescriptive authority to PAs or APNs are required to register with the Texas Medical Board. This became effective on 1/31/2010.
