Oppose Independent Practice for CRNP's

PAMED has become aware that the Pennsylvania Senate is exploring ways to expand access to healthcare in rural parts of Pennsylvania. This would include independent practice authority for Certified Registered Nurse Practitioners.

CRNPs are flooding legislative offices with calls to support independent practice authority. PAMED strongly opposes this effort and is urging physicians to also contact state legislators, both Senators and Representatives, to oppose CRNP independent practice. Calls and other contacts must be made within the next few days.

The message to legislative offices is simple, “I oppose CRNPs treating patients without direct physician involvement. Patients deserve better. Optimal patient care is best delivered by a team of caregivers led by a physician…the highest trained member of the health care team.”

PAMED urges you to make these calls ASAP. Physician voices need to be heard in every legislative office.
