APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse) Collaborative Practice Requirements
Prescriptive Authority Requirements To prescribe medications in West Virginia, APRNs must meet several conditions under WV Code §30-7-15 to be granted prescriptive authority, particularly: APRNs cannot prescribe Schedule I substances. APRNs may prescribe up to a 3-day supply of Schedule II narcotics. To apply for prescriptive authority, the APRN must: Be licensed/certified in WV Complete 45 contact hours in pharmacology, including 15 hours within the past 2 years. Collaborative Agreement Requirements Under WV Code §30-7-15b, APRNs must maintain a Written Collaborative Agreement (WCA) for prescribing until they qualify for independent practice, where the WCA must include: Prescribing protocols Guidelines and scope limits Shared responsibilities between APRN and his or her collaborating physician Periodic joint patient evaluation Documentation and review processes Path to Independent Prescribing After three (3) years of collaborative practice with a physician, APRNs may apply for independent prescriptive authority.
Physician Assistant (PA) Supervision in West Virginia
A PA must have an active physician assistant license and approved Practice Agreement with a supervising physician before practicing medicine in his or her expertise. A collaborating board's licensed physician must oversee the activities or medical services rendered by a physician assistant. A person seeking licensure must submit a timely application, and they must supply and support documentation required by the appropriate licensing board, applicable for physician assistants covered under this. Professional licensing is handled by the West Virginia Board, while accreditation is approved by either the Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation or the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. Supervision Requirements Under WV Code §30-3E-11, the supervising physician must: Provide medical direction and evaluation. Review PA practice, documentation, and scope. Ensure tasks match the PA’s training and competence. Scope & Practice Under WV Code §30-3E-12, a physician assistant may perform medical acts within his or her scope of practice, including prescribing, given that this remains consistent with their training, authorized practice agreement, and their supervising physician's scope of practice. Approval & Updates Practice Agreements must be approved by the WV licensing board, and changes must be reported.
Delegation of Medical Services (Med Spas, RNs, Estheticians)
West Virginia does not have a dedicated “med spa statute,” but the WV Board of Medicine requires: A supervising physician for any medical act or service, including laser treatments, injectables, or skin procedures Written protocols for delegation Chart reviews and supervision consistent with clinical risk General standard of care regulations apply.
Prescriptive Authority Overview
Here's an overview of the prescriptive authority of APRNs and PAs in West Virginia: APRNs Must follow prescribing protocols under §30-7-15a & §30-7-15b, and document controlled substance prescriptions according to WV Board of Nursing rules. Physician Assistants A license issued to a physician assistant by the appropriate state licensing board shall authorize the PA to perform medical acts commensurate with the physician assistant's education or master's degree, training, and experience. A physician assistant's practice may prescribe medications if authorized in his or her Practice Agreement.
