What type of provider is your wife?
I wouldn't think it would violate any STARK regulations considering if she were doing it all herself she would have the same financial interests as I would.
Not to sound harsh, but PLEASE get someone experienced to start your wife off and learn that way rather than the other way around. The beginning is a chance to start off on the right track and learning as you go and begin is not going to benefit her at all and in fact could do much more harm than good.
