That's good to know.  At least three states of which I'm aware permit
NPs to practice without any physician collaboration, supervision, or
alliance whatsoever.  I have a number of NP acquaintances who have
hospital admitting privileges: they do primary care in underserved
areas.

I believe this year CMS determined that we are Licensed Independent
Practitioners, as well.

But I  don't *believe* that any state allows PAs to hang out their

in an  independent practice the way NPs can in several  states.


Illinois, to my surprised knowledge, apparently does allow PAs to
practice  
without the supervising physician present 'on the grounds.'
 
There are several urgent care type clinics that I visited out of
curiosity  
(mostly in major department/mega stores) where they only had phone
consults.
 
Louisiana and Missouri both require a supervising physician to be 'in
house' 
for the PA to act.
