How often must an NP and collaborating physician meet in Kentucky?

In Kentucky, how often an NP and collaborating physician must meet depends on the type of prescriptive authority. Under a CAPA-CS (controlled substances), they must meet at least quarterly in the first year¹ and at least biannually in years two through four².

These CAPA-CS meetings may occur in person or via video, with telephonic communication permitted when in-person or video is not feasible, and must include review of the APRN’s reverse KASPER/PDMP report; written meeting records must be maintained and are subject to audit¹.

For a CAPA-NS (nonscheduled legend drugs), Kentucky law does not set a specific meeting frequency; instead, the agreement must describe the arrangement for collaboration and communication regarding prescribing³. Both the CAPA-NS and CAPA-CS must be reviewed by the APRN and the collaborating physician⁴⁵.
