Can my residency program (or other third party) pay my PIT application fee?
Yes. They must register with the TMB for bulk payment processing. Your program will receive a third party identification number which they should make available to you, if they wish to pay your application fee. On the payment page of the online application, select "Pay by Third Party Payment". Enter the third party identification number you were given in the "Third Party ID" field. Note: This number should not be confused with the TMB personal identification number, or your ACGME, AOA, or TMB Program Identification number. Be sure to enter a valid email address. You will receive an email if the application fee has not been paid within seven days. Your application will not be submitted to the Texas Medical Board until the fee has been paid. Entering an incorrect third party identification number will mean that your program, or other third party payer, is prevented from paying for your application, and you will have to submit a new application with the correct third party identification number or choose another form of payment.

How many physician assistants can a physician supervise?
There is no limitation to the number of PAs or APNs a physician may supervise.

Is there a retired status for physicians in Texas?
Yes. A physician on an official retired status is exempt from the registration fee. To be eligible for retired status, a physician's license cannot be under investigation, under a Board order, or be otherwise restricted. Physicians on a retired status must not engage in clinical activities or practice in any state, must not prescribe or administer drugs to anyone, nor may the physician possess a DEA or Texas controlled substance number. Additionally, the physician's license may not be endorsed to any state. A physician whose license has been placed on official retired status must obtain the approval of the board before returning to active status. The physician should contact the board for information on the approval procedure.
“... the physician’s name, address and telephone number are required to be included on the prescription drug order. If the prescription is for a controlled substance, the physician’s DEA number is also required to be included on the prescription. SB 406 did not change the requirem ... ”
Does the physician's name need to be included on the prescription?
Yes, the physician’s name, address and telephone number are required to be included on the prescription drug order. If the prescription is for a controlled substance, the physician’s DEA number is also required to be included on the prescription. SB 406 did not change the requirements for what needs to be included on a prescription drug order.

Is there still a ratio for the number of APRNs or PAs to whom a physician may delegate prescriptive authority?
The answer to the question depends on the practice setting. In facility-based hospital practices and in practices that serve medically underserved populations, there are no limitations. In all other practice settings, one physician may delegate to no more than seven full time equivalent APRNs and PAs (1:7 FTEs).
“There is no limit to the number of physicians who may delegate prescriptive authority to an APRN or PA provided all requirements for such delegation are met. ”

There is no limit to the number of physicians who may delegate prescriptive authority to an APRN or PA provided all requirements for such delegation are met.

How many charts must be reviewed?
The law does not provide a specific number or percentage of charts that must be reviewed. Rather, the law provides that the number of charts to be reviewed is determined by the parties to the prescriptive authority agreement. The number may vary from one practice setting to another. Factors such as the length of time the APRN or PA has been in practice, the length of time the physician and APRN or PA have practiced together, whether the parties to the prescriptive authority agreement practice together in the same practice setting, and the complexity of patient care needs should be given consideration when making this determination. That said, there has been no change in the law that requires that a physician must provide adequate supervision of delegates. In any given case, the number or percentage of charts reviewed may be an important factor in determining the quality of the physician’s supervision.
