Our APRN is qualified to practice on her own without supervision. Does this qualify her to be the "physician" for an "incident to" situation?

What would be your reasoning for wanting to do this?

Typically you'd bill incident to under the physician to receive 100% of the fee schedule rate, instead of the discounted rate for NPP.
 
You need to look at the state laws. That gives you want the full practice APRN is qualified for. I am in Illinois and have an M.D., full practice APRN, and APRNs that I bill for. All the collaborative agreements are with the MD, not the FP APRN. The MD has set it up that way, but I believe it's due to the fact that a FP APRN isn't allowed to supervise an APRN.
