We recently hired a new PA, and our doctor is now on vacation for 2 weeks.
I explained to our staff that the PA cannot see patient's in the office while the doctor is out.
Someone said that since she does have documentation for "alternative supervising physician" for 2 local physicians (within a 60 mile radius) that she can see those patient's without a physician in the office suite.
I am not familiar with the alternative supervising physician requirements.
Any help would be appreciated.
