A little cumbersome but you can quasi-mine the laws by drilling down through each search to get what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A physician’s assistant may prescribe a drug, including a controlled substance that is included in schedules 2 to 5 of part 72, as a delegated act of the supervising physician. When delegated prescription occurs, both the physician’s assistant’s name and the supervising physician’s name shall be used, recorded, or otherwise indicated in connection with each individual prescription so that the individual who dispenses or administers the prescription knows under whose delegated authority the physician’s assistant is prescribing. When delegated prescription of drugs that are included in schedules 2 to 5 occurs, both the physician’s assistant’s and the supervising physician’s DEA registration numbers shall be used, recorded, or otherwise indicated in connection with each individual prescription." http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2011-2012/publicact/htm/2012-PA-0618.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paula Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 The original post was dated 2008 so the MI prescribing law was updated in Oct. 2011 and MI PAs can now prescribe Schedule II-V in any setting and not restricted to the 7 day supply anymore.
