115.993 Scopes of Practice of Physician Extenders:
MSSNY supports the formulation of more clear definitions of scopes of practice of physician extenders to include more direct physician responsibility in their supervision and limits of numbers of visits by physician extenders allowed between cooperating physician visits with their patients.
MSSNY will embark on a campaign to remind physicians of the importance and responsibility of maintaining regular contact with all of their patients particularly when physician extenders are involved. (HOD 2002-66; Reaffirmed HOD 2013; Reaffirmed HOD 2023)
