    Why do you question that? Because they're not nurses? That's a training issue, rather than an MA

    No, you can't guarantee that they are fraudulently being billed as a physician visit. Our facility offers vaccine clinics, where the patient sees nobody but the MA. The nurses have their own patient...

    But I was referring to literal physical prescriptions that are handed to the patient. I assume Roser was not, because I do not see how a physician could sign a written script after the fact, if it's...

    Our facility policy and many state BONs states that it is outside the scope of UAP to assess patients. I don't understand what you're asking in the bolded. As far as uncomplicated - our facility...

    We see pregnant women all the time who are rubella non-immune. It's not a big deal and not a medical emergency. We just flag the chart so she receives the MMR postpartum. This is where herd immunity...

    How so? Nurses do it all the time. Nothing legally shaky about it whatsoever, as long as they're working off a protocol or order of some kind. I do it multiple times a day in my job in the clinic, and...
