The full Indiana answer, with the rest of the section →New York
A physician assistant may perform medical services only under the supervision of a physician, and only where the acts assigned are within the supervising physician’s own scope of practice. That supervision must be continuous, but is not construed as requiring the physician’s physical presence where the services are performed. No physician may employ or supervise more than six physician assistants in private practice at one time.

2 of the 6 states for which we publish statute-cited rules. That is not every state, and nothing above should be read as describing one that is not listed — the answer genuinely differs, so a neighbouring state is not a guide. We monitor all 50 state legislatures plus the FDA and the Federal Register daily; the cited rule set is narrower than the monitoring and is growing on its own timetable.
