Supervision Agreement for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners in Idaho
No. Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners practice independently here. Idaho does not require one.
Idaho's Board of Nursing rule doesn't carve out a separate framework for psychiatric-mental-health NPs — PMHNPs follow the same fully independent regime as any other NP (IDAPA 24.34.01). This entry exists for its own page/URL/calculator weight, not a legal distinction.
What the supervision must look like
The rules the physician relationship has to follow. Each fact comes from the statute or board rule listed under sources.
Proximity
No proximity requirement
Same standard as general NPs — no physician relationship required (IDAPA 24.34.01).
Supervision ratio
Not codified — no cap on file
Chart review
Not codified — left to the agreement
Meeting cadence
Not codified — left to the agreement
Prescriptive authority
Covered by the practice agreement · controlled substances permitted
Same statutory scope as general NPs; psychiatric prescribing in practice skews toward Schedule II stimulants and Schedule IV benzodiazepines more heavily — not a different legal limit, reflected in calculatorWeights rather than this rule.
Written agreement
Not required
Unconditional — same as the general `np` entry.
Practice ownership (corporate practice of medicine)
Non-licensee ownership permitted — Same as the general `np` entry — post-2016 CPOM disavowal permits broad ownership flexibility.

About Idaho's rules
Idaho APRNs (NP/CRNA/CNM/CNS) have full independent practice authority. The Idaho Board of Medicine formally disavowed corporate-practice-of-medicine enforcement in March 2016 — physicians, NPs, PAs, and (per this research pass) even non-licensees may generally co-own a standard business entity, so long as licensed professionals actually deliver the care.
