Lets certain healthcare facilities use physician assistants and nurse practitioners to meet federal requirements.
This bill would change federal rules for healthcare facilities not directly run by doctors. It would let these facilities meet federal requirements by having arrangements with physician assistants or nurse practitioners, following state laws. This could make it easier for these professionals to provide care, potentially increasing access for patients. These changes would start on January 1, 2027.
Today, federal law has a general requirement for an "arrangement" that facilities not directly run by doctors must have to meet certain utilization standards. After this bill, these facilities would specifically be able to meet federal requirements by having arrangements with physician assistants or nurse practitioners, provided these arrangements follow state and local laws. These changes would apply to services provided on or after January 1, 2027.
