Medical Spa Laws in Montana
Montana is one of the more permissive states for medical-spa ownership and operation. It allows non-physician ownership through MSO structures, permits telehealth good-faith exams, and grants RNs and NPs/PAs relatively broad scope under physician collaboration. The state does not impose strict Corporate Practice of Medicine barriers. Owners benefit from flexibility in staffing and initial-visit models, though a medical director and documented delegation remain essential.

Montana medical spa FAQs
Can an RN own a medical spa in Montana?
An RN cannot own independently but may own via an MSO structure with a supervising physician. Montana's nursing board permits broad RN scope under physician delegation, making this a relatively flexible arrangement.
Can a telehealth good-faith exam be used for the initial injectable visit in Montana?
Yes. Montana allows telehealth good-faith exams if the physician-patient relationship is established. This makes remote initial consultations feasible for many practices.
What authority do NPs have in Montana medical spas?
NPs may practice with physician collaboration and may have some independent authority depending on their license type and the specific clinical setting. Verify the scope with the Montana Board of Nursing.
