That is simply not true in many states. In some states they are required to have a doctor sign off on everything or some things (those would be the states where the doctors have successfully kept protectionist measures in place to protect their own income). In 21 states & DC, nurse practitioners can set up their own practice independent of doctors:

If some states allow nurse practitioners to have their own practice and patients choose them for affordable ( and it cuts into income of some doctors) that is a very different scenario from appraisers..(let alone med insurance impact on billing/malpractice and the much higher earnings of physicians, )
