HB 87 -- Insurance

Sponsor:  Barry

This bill requires health insurance plans to provide coverage
for services rendered or ordered by a registered nurse first
assistant or by a licensed physician assistant working in a
written supervision agreement.

The bill also defines "registered nurse first assistant" and
requires the State Board of Nursing to specify which
professional nursing organization certifications will be
recognized for registered nurse first assistants and to
establish criteria for other registered nurses to use the title
other than through such certification.
