Supervising physicians for APRNs without independent authority must hold unrestricted licenses, valid DEA registration, and enter written supervision agreements specifying scope, fees, duties, and designated alternate physicians

State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision and State Board of Osteopathic Examiners must establish uniform supervision rules including fair market value hourly rates for supervision fees, redetermined biennially

APRNs with independent prescriptive authority may prescribe Schedule III, IV, and V controlled substances; those without independent authority remain limited to prescribing under physician supervision and cannot prescribe substances their supervisor is not registered to prescribe
