c. 253, § 23].
(a) As of May 12, 2026, the title of "physician assistant" in Delaware is changed to "physician associate." This change is not intended to
change any rights or privileges of those who have been or continue to hold themselves out to be a "physician assistant" and any provision
of law that says "physician assistant" also means "physician associate."
(b) This name change does not alter, affect, or impact any billing, reimbursement, or payment policies currently in place for a physician
assistant. All billing practices, insurance reimbursement policies, and agreements that apply to physician assistants continue to apply in the
same manner to physician associates. No insurer may deny reimbursement for services rendered by a physician associate solely as a result
of this name change.
