Direct pay for PAs under Medicare? WAPA joins the American Academy of PAs (AAPA) in applauding members of the U.S. House of Representatives, Terri Sewell (D-AL) and Adrian Smith (R-NE), for introducing H.R. 1052, the Physician Assistant Direct Payment Act, to authorize PAs to receive direct payment under Medicare. Ask the Professional Practice Team What isthe rightful scope of your practice? What do the laws really say about supervisory roles, specialty practice, insurance providers, employer contracts and prescriptive authority? Ask our team of experts. CARES Act PAs nowcarry a greater regulatory and administrative burden that no longer fits with the current health care climate. These outdated laws are pushing PAs out of Wisconsin and decreasing patients’ access to care.The CARES Act removes those barriers and helps PAs practice to the full extent of their training and education.
