What items must be included on a NY PA prescription after 2/22/25?

• A. PA name, title, license number, DEA (if controlled), and PA signature
• B. Supervising physician name, PA name, title, and PA signature
• C. PA name, date of birth, patient address, and drug name
• D. Drug name, dosage, route, and refills

Answer: (A)

New York requires clear identification of the prescriber on every PA prescription. For a physician assistant, this means including the PA’s name, professional title (Physician Assistant), license number, and the PA’s signature. If the prescription is for a controlled substance, the PA’s DEA registration number must also appear. This combination ensures the prescription can be traced to a legally authorized PA who is practicing under supervision, and it provides the necessary safeguards for controlled substances. The other options miss one or more essential elements: they omit the PA’s license number or signature, or they include details (like patient information or only drug data) that do not satisfy prescriber-identification requirements.
