Hello Forum,
I am interested in hearing forum member views on the 2021 MPFS Final rule that allows Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants the ability to supervise diagnostic tests if allowed by state law/licensure, etc. As I understand, prior to this change, Medicare regulations prohibited NP/PA from supervising diagnostic tests regardless of what state licensure law permitted. I see this as an opportunity to allow NP/PA to work at the top of their scope of practice allowed by state law. Your insights, input, and opinions are greatly appreciated.
