I. As of the effective date of this section, the title of "physician assistant" in New Hampshire 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 anywhere in the law that says, "physician associate" shall also mean "physician assistant." II. This name change shall not alter, affect, or impact any billing, reimbursement, or payment policies currently in place for physician assistants. All billing practices, insurance reimbursement policies, and agreements that apply to physician assistants shall continue to apply in the same manner to physician associates. No insurer shall deny reimbursement for services rendered by a physician associate solely as a result of this name change. III. No regulatory changes shall be made solely as a result of this name change that would modify the scope of practice or any other professional obligations currently applicable to physician assistants.
