As a physician, is it okay to go by a nickname or shortened version of my given name in my practice?
Texas requires physicians to professionally use the name under which they are licensed by the Texas Medical Board.

A physician who wishes to change his or her professional name must use the Application for Name Change.

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.
“... e 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 medic ... ”
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.
“... this determination. That said, there has been no change in the law that requires that a physician must provide adequate supervision of delegates.

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.

What is "non-biographical" information as it pertains to an Electronic Medical Record (EMR)?
165.1(a) (10) now requires the following:
"All non-biographical populated fields, contained in a patient's electronic medical record, must contain accurate data and information pertaining to the patient based on actual findings, assessments, evaluations, diagnostics or assessments as documented by the physician."
Non-biographical data/information is data that will typically change from visit to visit. For example, many EMR systems bring forward from the previous encounter non-biographical information such as symptoms, diagnosis, vitals, lab levels, history, previous treatments etc... However, because symptoms often resolve between encounters (as result of treatment), diagnoses may no longer be active or present (because of previous treatments), and vitals fluctuate, such data fields should not contain inaccurate, non-current, or irrelevant data that is not pertinent to the present illness/issue. Such information may be part of the patient’s history, but should not be reflected as current/present unless such symptoms/diagnoses are ongoing. Such information may become part of the patient’s historical data/information contained in the electronic medical record. Non-biographical information/data contained in a medical record for each encounter should be based on actual assessment, evaluations or other diagnostics that are documented by the physician.

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.
“... or their own individual waiver. Although this may change in the future, TMB is currently unable to track waivers by group. ”

Currently, each individual physician who needs a waiver will have to apply for their own individual waiver. Although this may change in the future, TMB is currently unable to track waivers by group.
“... cribers when their waiver expires. This may change in the future. ”
Will I be notified before my waiver expires?
No, TMB is not currently notifying prescribers when their waiver expires. This may change in the future.
