Are you saying that for NJ or across the board? Because in my state, physicians don't have to sign off or even be present for the P.As to practice. They only have to communicate once a week to show oversight. All they need to prescribe is the supervising's name on the script, which is usually printed at the top under their (PAs) name.

Baby steps first... Has the center in NJ opened yet? Haven't heard a peep. The original target was 15th of March. Mind you one week late in health care related project management is not even a move from green to yellow on the dashboard. Besides, it is not likely this is being managed as a hard project rollout in any case. It is a pilot that will be used as a model for a more rapid expansion and such it is far more important to get it right versus jam it to market. My guess it will be announced within another week or so. |
