Sec. 5.5. Billing. A physician assistant shall not be |
allowed to personally bill patients or in any way charge for |
services. The employer of a physician assistant may charge for |
services rendered by the physician assistant. All claims for |
services rendered by the physician assistant shall be submitted |
using the physician assistant's national provider |
