30 Miss. Code. R. 2630-1.4
Physicians who plan to collaborate with APRNs in locations beyond seventy-five (75) miles from the physician, known as Extended Mileage Collaboration, must submit the protocol for approval prior to the commencement of patient care under the protocol. Primary Care Extended Mileage is discussed in Rule 1.5. If a primary care provider does not meet the requirements of Rule 1.5, a protocol must be submitted.
The facts and matters to be considered by the Board regarding any collaborative relationship shall include, but are not limited to, how the collaborating physician and APRN plan to implement the protocol, compatibility of practice (e.g., specialty compatibility or day-to-day practice differences), the method and manner of collaboration, the availability of backup coverage, consultation, and referral.
