These services require delivery to a physical address and a phone number. Delivery by a private overnight service to our physical address usually allows you to obtain immediate online confirmation of delivery from the carrier.
Items mailed through the US Postal Service (regular, certified, express, or overnight), must be addressed to our mailing address, or they will be returned to the sender. A vendor signs for and delivers these items to our agency. Even if a tracking mechanism is used, the signature confirming receipt of items delivered to the mailing address will be that of a vendor employee, making confirmation of delivery more difficult.

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 miles from my delegating physician can my practice site be?
SB 406 eliminated site based prescriptive authority. The law is silent regarding the practice location of the physician and its proximity to the practice site of the APRN or PA. 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 distance between a physician’s primary practice and the practice site at which the physician’s delegates provide medical services may be an important factor in determining the quality of the physician’s supervision.
