I've always been under the impression that the «conservative» view of abortion is that it should NOT be allowed EXCEPT in cases of rape, incest, or when
competent medical authorities determine that the health and safety of the mother and / or child is at serious risk (but not justifying the abortion of a child simply for having a mental or physical disability).
An «appropriately educated and credentialed
medical assistant» working under provider supervision and
authority meets the CPT definition of clinical staff for two reasons: (1) the laws of all states permit physicians and NPPs to delegate to
competent and safe
medical assistants some tasks that must be performed under direct provider supervision and some tasks that may be performed under general provider supervision; and (2)
medical assistants do not individually report professional services because
medical assisting services may only be billed incident to the services of a provider.
