I would be nice if someone could answer my question of point me in direction to find this answer.
re: Compliance
While I would hesitate and avoid, myself, engaging in such a practice as you describe, your question is more about legal matters. It might be better to ask a legal expert for an answer appropriate to your needs?

Many insurance companies do not enroll Physician Assistants, and PA's in those practices report their services under the physician's NPI. You have to check with each insurance company. Then, the person who has access to your contracts should review them.
I jokingly say, I never use the f Word in polite conversation. I urge everyone to be cautious about accusing some one of fraud.
