- CGMthrowaway 1y agoNot sure about other countries, but RAs do outsource work to RRAs(1) and then sign the final product. This is relatively new as Medicare/Medicaid didn't recognize RRAs as mid-level practitioners until 2019. I suspect the answer is yes for ARRT-certified RRAs, but it will be state-specific (similar to the answer above about RAs).
