1 AN ACT to amend the Physician Assistant Practice Act of
2 1987 by changing Section 6.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Physician Assistant Practice Act of 1987
6 is amended by changing Section 6 as follows:
7 (225 ILCS 95/6) (from Ch. 111, par. 4606)
8 Sec. 6. Title; billing. No physician assistant shall use
9 the title of doctor or associate with his name or any other
10 term which would indicate to other persons that he is
11 qualified to engage in the general practice of medicine. A
12 physician assistant shall not be allowed to bill patients or
13 in any way to charge for services. Nothing in this Act,
14 however, shall be so construed as to prevent the employer of
15 a physician assistant from charging for services rendered by
16 the physician assistant. The supervising physician shall
17 file with the Department notice of employment, discharge or
18 supervisory control of a physician assistant at the time of
19 employment, discharge or assumption of supervisory control of
20 a physician assistant.
