Medical Spa Laws in Montana
Montana allows non-physician ownership of medical spas under a lenient corporate-practice posture, provided a physician supervises and conducts good-faith in-person exams. RNs and LPNs may inject under physician delegation, though NP and PA scope is less clearly defined and varies by agreement.
