FOURTH: Get busy taking care of patients: You can be the prescriber so your name goes, as a mid-level, on the prescription. You can always work with a practitioner under a collaborative agreement and in that case that person's name goes on the prescription. Payment depends on the payer and whether the prescription is for the at risk individual or another party.
