Medical director requirement
Required; physician must oversee and be responsible for all injectable procedures
Corporate Practice of Medicine
Strict; physician-owned or MSO with physician control required This is the doctrine that decides whether a non-physician can own or control the practice, and it usually travels hand-in-hand with the medical-director question.
Who can supervise or delegate
Limited; NP/PA cannot inject independently; physician must be physically present
How the exam ties in
Required; in-person only
What to verify in Louisiana
Ensure a licensed Louisiana physician owns or controls the practice and is physically present for all injectable procedures; do not rely on RN or NP/PA injectors.
