Amends TCA Title 63, Chapter 19 and Title 63, Chapter 7.
Under present law, an advanced practice registered nurse with a certificate of fitness who provides services in a community mental health center may arrange for the required personal review of the advanced practice registered nurse's charts by a collaborating physician, with the same authority to render prescriptive services that the nurse practitioner is authorized to render, in the office or practice site of the physician, or the required visit by a collaborating physician to any remote site, or both, via HIPAA-compliant electronic means rather than at the site of the clinic. This bill extends the above-described authorization to also apply to services provided in a federally qualified health center.
