Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — they only establish that a PA's delegated care runs under orders and protocols the supervising physician formulates or approves and regularly reviews, with contact by phone or telemedicine rather than physical presence.
In all patient care settings, the supervising physician shall provide appropriate methods of supervising the health care services provided by the physician assistant including:
