snoopy531 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I was just offered a new job with a private practice in psychiatry and am seeking some advice regarding onboarding paperwork. They sent over the supervisory agreement which they requested I sign, the only issue is that it is completely outlined for a nurse practitioner (refers to me as NP throughout, document is called Collaborative Physician Agreement rather than a Supervisory Agreement, mentions how many hours the NP would need to maintain licensure with their governing body AMA/ANCC instead of the NCCPA). I feel uncomfortable with signing it since I'm not a nurse practitioner and as a PA I have completely different requirements. Am I being too particular or is this something that other people would have no problem signing? When asked if they had a form for PAs they wrote me off and said "it's just an agreement same for NPs and PAs." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality Check 2 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Scan it, turn it into a PDF, fix it and highlight changes…. Pave the way, show your smarts and be legally represented. USE COLLABORATIVE PHYSICIAN and don’t use SP….. evolve. Don’t ever sign something because it is what they gave you. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted June 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted June 22, 2021 turn it into a positive Use a scanner with OCR and create your own PA contract - don't change any of the financial or try to sneak anything in, just make it appropriate for PA Shows your professionalism, ability to face a problem, and create a solution 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surgblumm Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Surgblumm@gmail.com A PA by law in many states cannot supervise an NP and signing paperwork may be categorized as that. I was on the national board of Minute Clinic and started the first MC in NYS only to discover a few months later that I could only hire NPs because of the supervisory cost of an SP and a couple of months later discovered I could no longer be the Manager of operations because I could not supervise an NP in NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
