§ 1399.546. Reporting of Physician Assistant Supervision.
(a) Each time a physician assistant provides care for a patient and enters his or her name, signature, initials, or computer code on a patient's record, chart or written order, the physician assistant shall also record in the medical record for that episode of care the supervising physician who is responsible for the patient. When a physician assistant transmits an oral order, he or she shall also state the name of the supervising physician responsible for the patient.
(b) If the electronic medical record software used by the physician assistant is designed to, and actually does, enter the name of the supervising physician for each episode of care into the patient's medical record, such automatic entry shall be sufficient for compliance with this recordkeeping requirement.
