Government
Affairs Update
In this important update, we get
details about a Bill introduced in the
Senate that would allow nurse prac-
titioners and physician assistants
to sign their patient’s Certificate of
Medical Necessity. PFA strongly sup-
ports this Bill as it is far more represen-
tative of current practice in a Primary
Care office and will help give access to
the critical footwear and insert benefit
that many patients with diabetes can-
not receive now. Get the information
from this article and then contact your
Senator and ask for their support of
this common-sense Bill. Read on.
