Hi guys,

Hoping someone can point me to the right place. Our providers do not think they have to perform their on PE's. I know I have read this and was taught in school that MA's and others can take the HPI, PFSH, and even the ROS but the Provider actually has to do the PE. Can someone please give me a link to a web site where I can print this off.

Thank you all in advance.
 
No, these are not "incident-to" encounters. These are Medical Assistants some certified some not that are performing Physical Exams on all E/M levels for the mid level providers. 1 Physician's Assistant and 2 NP's.

It has always been my uderstanding that the provider has to do the PE. Is this not correct?

Thanks
