Psychiatrists are M.D.'s.  I happen to know one (now retired) who was both a 
Psychiatrist and a Physiatrist.  He wrote scripts for wheelchairs.  Most 
Psychologists use PhD after their name, but all Psychiatrists can use M.D. or 
D.O. after their name.

  Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
  arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
  skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body
  thoroughly used up, totally worn out, hair on fire and screaming "WOO
  HOO!  What a ride!"

  They can't or are not suppose to.   Most Psych's use PHD after their names, 
instead of Doctor.  But if you read the article, they purchased the signed 
forms from a medical doctor that sold his name.  The article only includes a 
few doctors from the Houston Area.  However CMS will find a lot more incidents 
of "Form Selling" and money bribes.  Most of the people involved have 
international names or foreign backgrounds.  I sure hope that the excess 
profits are not finding its way to foreign terrorist organizations.  I pray 
that I'm wrong, but only time will tell.
