The exact wording and guidance from AAMA is:

"Providing patient education, the content of which is approved by the provider, that does not require the exercise of clinical judgment" is generally considered in scope

At our organization, we consider it out of scope for a CMA to offer independent education to patients.

Agree with  previous replies.

In NJ, CMAs can relay verbatim information. If there are any questions requiring a different response, request/question must be forwarded to RN or clinician.
