SB 752 - This act requires specific health plans to cover all services provided or ordered by registered nurse first assistants. A "registered nurse first assistant" (RNFA) is defined as a registered nurse, licensed in Missouri, who has received additional certification through a nationally-recognized professional organization to become a RNFA or who meets the criteria for RNFAs establishes by the Missouri State Board of Nursing. If so certified, then all services provided by RNFAs shall be covered by the specified health plans, including Medicaid.

This bill is substantially similar to SCS/SB 35 (2001).
