HB76

Further providing for definitions.

Chamber Passed·6/23/26

Pennsylvania HB76 amends definitions related to medical practice and licensure.

Pennsylvania HB76 amends the definitions of "doctor of osteopathy or osteopathic doctor" and "primary supervising physician" in the Medical Practice Act of 1985. The bill specifies that a "doctor of osteopathy or osteopathic doctor" is an individual licensed to practice osteopathic medicine and surgery. A "primary supervising physician" is a medical doctor or doctor of osteopathy who is licensed and designated in a written agreement with a physician assistant. The changes aim to clarify roles and responsibilities within the medical practice framework.
