Collaboration Agreement

A written agreement between an advanced practice provider, such as a nurse practitioner, and a physician that defines the scope of their collaborative practice relationship.

Why it matters

Some states require a collaboration agreement for NPs with reduced or restricted practice authority; the agreement defines protocols, chart review, and availability.

State variation

How Collaboration Agreement applies can differ by state, provider credentials, and the treatments offered. NOVI’s state pages summarize the considerations for Texas, Florida, and California — but always confirm current rules for your jurisdiction with official sources.
