All physician assistant supervision arrangements formed or submitted to the Board shall comply with the following requirements:

(a) A supervising physician or supervising physician assistant, and any physician assistant under his supervision, shall maintain on file with the Board a current supervision plan approved pursuant to section 8(h) of this chapter.

(b) The supervision plan shall be submitted as part of any application by a supervising physician and/or supervising physician assistant, or group of supervising physicians and/or supervising physician assistants.

(c) Before a supervising physician or supervising physician assistant, and the physician assistant(s) being supervised, may change a supervision plan previously approved by the Board, they shall submit a revised supervision plan on an application form published by the Board. The revised supervision plan application shall be reviewed by the advisory council and the Board pursuant to section 8(h) of this chapter.

(d) Supervising physicians and supervising physician assistants, and the physician assistant(s) being supervised, shall maintain documentation to demonstrate compliance with the elements of the supervision plan.

(e) A supervising physician or supervising physician assistant, and the physician assistant(s) being supervised, shall, upon written request from the Board, produce within twenty (20) days of receipt of the Board's request any documentation maintained pursuant to subsection (d).

(f) In addition to the ability to request documentation pursuant to subsection (e) the Board may, from time to time, conduct an audit of approximately ten (10) percent of then-active supervisory relationships, selected by random means, by requesting from the selected supervising physician or supervising physician assistant, and the physician assistant(s) being supervised, any documentation from the past three (3) years maintained pursuant to subsection (d).

(g) Effective January 1, 2022, any board-approved supervision agreement between a supervising physician and a physician assistant who has passed the NCCPA or other national certifying examination pursuant to subsection 7(c) of this chapter shall be deemed terminated. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to affect any approved supervision agreement between a physician and a physician assistant who has not passed the NCCPA or other board-approved certifying examination. Physicians and physician assistants who have passed the NCCPA or other approved certifying examination remain free to associate, collaborate, or otherwise practice cooperatively.
