Q:  Under what circumstances would a PA be required to refer a patient to the supervising physician?

A:  Section 4730.16(C) requires the supervisory plan to specify the circumstances under which a PA is required to refer a patient to the supervising physician.  This would be subject to rule-making to set outside parameters.  Section 4730.42 (B)(2)(d) also allows physicians to establish requirements concerning referring patients to the supervising physician as part of the conditions on which prescriptive authority is granted.
