This makes things a bit sketchy. Therefore I conclude that the 4evergreen group is not legit, and recommend you don't fall for the scam. Both James Lathrop and Joel Berman are licensed APRNs, however, there is no reason for on APRN to make a recommendation while another signs it.
Actually, 4Evergreen is legit, and the error you describe is something that Berman's office is trying to take care of. Your roommate should give Madison Consulting Group/Berman a call ASAP and tell them that he/she has one of those authorizations that unfortunately had an error on it as you describe. They had told me they were going to send out new authorizations to those folks who were accidentally given auths with that error on them. Not a scam, just an unfortunate error when printing out the authorizations.

(...as far as the hard plastic card from 4Evergreen is concerned, it doesn't matter what it says on it because it's not a valid authorization in any case. Only authorizations printed on tamper-resistant paper are valid.)
