Are there any proximity or in-person requirements between an NP and collaborating physician in Florida?

Florida’s APRN–physician collaboration has proximity or in-person requirements only in specific settings. In offices that primarily provide dermatologic or skin care services, when the APRN (NP) is not under onsite supervision, the supervised office must be within 25 miles of the physician’s primary practice or in a contiguous county (with a hard cap of 75 miles), and the physician may supervise only one such additional office; the physician must also be board-certified/eligible in dermatology or plastic surgery and submit those office addresses to the Board¹.

Outside that setting, Florida emphasizes documentation and transparency rather than physical proximity: the supervisory protocol must be maintained onsite at each APRN practice location², and if a physician supervises additional offices, they must conspicuously post a current schedule showing hours when the physician is present and when the office is open without the physician³.
