For nursing home related questions, see the American Medical Directors Association website, www.amda.com. For home care related questions, please refer to the AAHCP booklets “Making House Calls a Part of Your Practice” and “Making Home Care Work in a Medical Practice.” • I am thinking of hiring a PA. How do I determine appropriate compensation? The American Academy of Physician Assistants website, www.aapa.org, has a salary service which will show you the salary for new graduates and experienced PAs in each specialty and geographic area. The site also has sample contracts and information on hiring, training and supervising PAs. • Can an NP do the initial house call, or does it need to be done by a physician? The NP can do the initial house call. The only code NPs and PAs cannot use is initial comprehensive visit for subacute Part A nursing home patients.
