The rule change allows us to consider nurse practitioners and a few others at a greater level of significance, recognizing that much of America does not see an MD or DO on a regular basis. For this alone, this is worth it.

However,...9:21, for ODAR purposes, you are correct. However, all those case consultants and examiners handling cases at the DDSs get to figure out which of their cases these changes apply to and which they don't. And for states with deep backlogs (where I'm at as a PC), this could mean starting the development process in, say, May or June while the filing dates are still prior to March 27th. No grace period, either. Not terribly smart of SSA to apply these changes in such a way.
