Summary
New California law allows nurse practitioners to work without physician supervision in Imperial County for Medi-Cal patients. This may affect billing and credentialing workflows for practices employing nurse practitioners in this area.
Action Required
Immediately: Practices in Imperial County with nurse practitioners should review credentialing requirements and billing procedures for Medi-Cal patients. Verify that NP services can now be billed independently without physician supervision requirements. Update internal workflows if applicable.
