AN ACT TO AMEND THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATES AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS.

Summary

The amendment deletes language that required insurers to reimburse physician associate (PA) services at the same rate as physician‑provided care and to base payment on the service rather than the provider. It also removes the word “existing” from references to state law, giving insurers more flexibility in setting billing standards for PAs. The change impacts PAs, physicians, insurers, and patients by altering how PA services are billed and reimbursed.
