(225 ILCS 95/6) (from Ch. 111, par. 4606)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2018)
Sec. 6. Title; advertising billing.
(a) No physician assistant shall use the title of doctor or associate with his or her name or any other term that would indicate to other persons that he or she is qualified to engage in the general practice of medicine.
(b) A licensee shall include in every advertisement for services regulated under this Act his or her title as it appears on the license or the initials authorized under this Act.
(c) A physician assistant shall not be allowed to bill patients or in any way to charge for services. Nothing in this Act, however, shall be so construed as to prevent the employer of a physician assistant from charging for services rendered by the physician assistant. Payment for services rendered by a physician assistant shall be made to his or her employer if the payor would have made payment had the services been provided by a physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches.
(d) The supervising physician shall file with the Department notice of employment, discharge, or supervisory control of a physician assistant at the time of employment, discharge, or assumption of supervisory control of a physician assistant.
