“... bsp;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. ”
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.
“... ss Program page, found here: https://www.pharmacy.texas.gov/patient-access/ ”
May patients or patient guardians request a copy of their PMP history, including who has accessed that history?
Yes. A patient, the patient’s parent or legal guardian if the patient is a minor, or the patient’s legal guardian if the patient is an incapacitated person, may receive a copy of the patient’s PMP record, including a list of who has accessed that record.
For more information on how to submit a request, please review the Pharmacy Board’s Patient Access Program page, found here: https://www.pharmacy.texas.gov/patient-access/
“... itioners: APRN waivers are determined by the Texas Board of Nursing. Information on the waiver process for the APRNs is available on the Texas Board of Nursing Website. ”
Do delegates who have prescribing authority have to apply for their own waiver or are they covered by the supervising physician’s waiver?
If the supervising physician has a waiver, then the prescribing delegate is also covered under that waiver. So long as the prescribing delegate is prescribing under the authority of a physician who has been granted a waiver, then the prescribing delegate may use non-electronic prescribing means. If a prescribing delegate is issuing a prescription under the authority of a physician who does not have a waiver, then the prescribing delegate must issue the prescription via e-prescribing.
If an individual wants to look up whether a prescribing delegate has a waver they can do so as listed below:
For physician assistants: A PA’s waiver status will not be viewable on their TMB public profile. Each PA’s public profile has a link to their supervising physician’s profile page. The physician’s profile page will list the waiver status.
For nurse practitioners: APRN waivers are determined by the Texas Board of Nursing. Information on the waiver process for the APRNs is available on the Texas Board of Nursing Website.
“... blic profile here: Look up a LicenseNOTE: Per the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, a “pharmacist is not responsible for ensuring there is a waiver. In addition, there is no requirement of the pharmacist to ensure an appropriate waiver is granted.” ... ”
How can someone determine if a practitioner has a waiver?
If a physician has a waiver from e-prescribing, it is viewable on their public profile page, under the section entitled “Verified Information.” If you want to verify that a PA or nurse practitioner has a waiver, you will have to look at the delegating physician’s public profile. You can look up a prescriber’s public profile here: Look up a License
NOTE: Per the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, a “pharmacist is not responsible for ensuring there is a waiver. In addition, there is no requirement of the pharmacist to ensure an appropriate waiver is granted.”
“... you are granted a waiver, it applies to all your Texas practice locations. ”
Do I need a waiver for each of my practice locations?
No. If you are granted a waiver, it applies to all your Texas practice locations.
“... inting will be sent directly to TMB from both the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Records and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. ”
Can I get my fingerprints done anywhere?
Not at this time. Fingerprinting services are provided through IdentoGo by IDEMIA (formerly known as MorphoTrust USA, LLC) for a fee, payable directly to IdentoGo. Results of the fingerprinting will be sent directly to TMB from both the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Records and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
