What Medical Assistants Can and Cannot Do!
Do not guess!!! Every medical office should have an organized plan that outlines the duties of every staff member in the medical office, which should also address patient assessment and triage procedures, and emergency situations.
Delegation of Procedures
Regulations differ from state to state. If unsure, medical assistants can contact the national medical assistant certification bodies, or your state's Board of Medical Examiners, sometimes called Board of Licensure in Medicine, who should be able to help (*since medical assistants work under the direct supervision of a physician). The rule of thumb is: medical assistants may only do tasks that a medical doctor, or other licensed healthcare practitioner has ordered and delegated to them.
