WAPA PA LAWS EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2021
Update on Physician Assistants: Upcoming PA Law Changes effective July 1, 2021
During the last legislative session, SHB 2378 was passed, authorizing the following changes to Physician Assistant (PA) Laws:
-
Moves the Delegation Agreements to the practice level; you only need to send a copy to the Washington Medical Commission (WMC). Existing practice agreements submitted before July 1, 2021 do not need to be updated to reflect the changes required in SHB 2387.
-
The MD/DO to PA ratio is 10:1; if your practice already has a “waiver” for more, you do not need to resubmit.
-
It removes remote site restrictions; removing duplicate regulatory structures for PAs working with MDs and DOs. It places all PAs under the Medical Commission. There will no longer be a separate licensing section for Osteopathic Physician Assistants. Chapter 18.71A RCW will replace the Osteopathic Physician Assistant license found in chapter 18.57A RCW.
