nwatson Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Can anyone explain to me what this "never make a final diagnosis" really means? I do contact work in a psych facilty and the creditialing people are refusing to hire PAs because of this rule even though the PAs have a supervising MD and delegation agreement. If PAs no longer are required to have their charts co-signed, then how is this "final diagnosis" done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it all the time and nothing gets cosigned (except federal workers comp....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
