Existing law, the Physician Assistant Practice Act, establishes the Physician Assistant Board within the jurisdiction of the Medical Board of California for the licensure and regulation of physician assistants. The act authorizes physician assistants to perform medical services as set forth by regulations and the act when those services are rendered pursuant to a practice agreement and under the supervision of a licensed physician and surgeon. Existing law prohibits a physician and surgeon from supervising more than 4 physician assistants at any one time. This bill would also authorize a physician and surgeon to supervise up to 8 physician assistants at one time if all of the physician assistants are focused solely on performing in-home health evaluations to gather patient information and perform annual wellness visits or health evaluations that do not involve direct patient treatment or prescribing medication.
