Prescriptive Delegation Registration

Senate Bill 532, effective 1/31/2010, requires physicians to register with the TMB if the physicians delegate prescriptive authority to PAs or APNs.

New: Online Registration of Prescriptive Authority!

Use the new online system to register prescriptive authority AND to file the notice of intent to practice/supervise forms required of PAs and physicians. Hard copy supervision and delegation forms will no longer be accepted as of 8/1/2010 (except as required below).
