I am an anesthesiologist. I contract out my services to other physicians to provide anesthesia for procedures in their offices. Since the anesthesia is not done in my office and I am only a contractor, do I need to register for Office Based Anesthesia (OBA)?
Yes, both the anesthesiologist and the physician performing the procedure should be registered for OBA. Statute states that each physician who administers anesthesia or performs a procedure for which anesthesia services are performed in an outpatient setting shall register for OBA and comply with current OBA regulations. Please note, an anesthesiologist who contracts out their services to multiple physicians is not required to register each location where they perform OBA, but only the highest level of OBA services that they provide.

What is a "Criminal History Evaluation Letter"?
A request for evaluation of your criminal history and potential eligibility for licensure prior to application for licensure as a physician, physician assistant, PA, or acupuncturist. Do not apply for a "Criminal History Evaluation Letter" if you are already a licensure applicant. Licensure applicants will have criminal history evaluated as part of the licensure application.
“... n advanced practice registered nurse or physician assistant must take with respect to each specific condition, disease, or symptom, however. ”
Do I need to have a protocol in addition to a prescriptive authority agreement?
APRNs and PAs are required to have delegated authority from a licensed physician in order to provide medical aspects of patient care. Historically, this delegation has occurred through a protocol or other written authorization. Rather than requiring multiple documents, delegation protocols can now be included in one document the prescriptive authority agreement. The prescriptive authority agreement need not describe the exact steps that an advanced practice registered nurse or physician assistant must take with respect to each specific condition, disease, or symptom, however.
“... advanced practice registered nurse, or physician assistant must have an active license to practice that is not suspended, delinquent, or otherwise subject to a disciplinary order that specifically prohibits the licensee from entering into a prescriptive authority agreement. Note t ... ”
What constitutes a license that is in good standing for purposes of entering a prescriptive authority agreement?
A physician, advanced practice registered nurse, or physician assistant must have an active license to practice that is not suspended, delinquent, or otherwise subject to a disciplinary order that specifically prohibits the licensee from entering into a prescriptive authority agreement.
Note that if a licensee’s authority to supervise, delegate, or prescribe devices is limited under a board order, the licensee may enter into a prescriptive authority agreement and practice under the agreement only to the extent permitted by the board order.
“... m, at least two persons, including the surgeon or anesthesiologist, shall maintain current competency in basic life support. ”
What are the standards for anesthesia services relating to OBA?
Physicians and anesthesiologists shall maintain current competency in ACLS, PALS, or a course approved by the board. In all settings under Chapter 173, at a minimum, at least two persons, including the surgeon or anesthesiologist, shall maintain current competency in basic life support.

How many hours of continuing education (CE) are required per year for a surgical assistant?
As a prerequisite to the registration of a surgical assistant's license, 18 hours of continuing education are required every 12 months, with at least half being Category I. That is 36 hours of CE every 24 months (24 month timeline is in relation to the biennial registration period, not the calendar year).

Do I have to let the Medical Board know about my delegates/supervising physicians?
Yes, if you are a physician or a physician assistant.
Physicians are required to register all PAs and APRNs that they supervise prior to the delegates beginning to work for them. If there is a change to the scope of the delegation, physicians must notify the Board within 30 days of this change.
PAs are likewise required to register their supervising physicians with the Board prior to beginning to practice under the employment or prescriptive authority agreement. They are also required to notify the Board within 30 days of any change to the scope of the delegation.
APRNs should look to guidance provided by the Texas Board of Nursing for how to register their delegating physicians, as the Medical Board does not have licensing authority for nurses.
