Common Challenges South Carolina Clinics Face Without a Qualified Collaborating Physician
Starting or expanding your own practice can be challenging without a competent supervising physician in South Carolina. Watch out for these potential setbacks:
Clinic openings delayed due to missing physician supervision
A missing medical director is an absence of prescriptive authority, preventing you from offering treatments.
Restrictive oversight and slow response times from current MDs
An incompetent MD fails to meet your clinic’s urgent needs, resulting in lost revenue and limited opportunities.
Compliance confusion leading to legal and financial risk
Without a qualified collaborating physician who provides clarity regarding compliance requirements, your clinic can be put under legal or financial risk.

South Carolina Oversight Compliance Rules
Stay fully informed with oversight and compliance rules. Here are some state-specific regulations in South Carolina:
Practice Agreement Requirements (NPs, CNMs, and CNSs)
South Carolina requires nurse practitioners (NPs), certified nurse-midwives (CNMs), and clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) to maintain a written practice agreement with a physician to prescribe and practice medicine. For NPs, collaborating physicians must be physically present at a practice site to provide direct supervision. The agreement must define the scope, medical acts, prescriptive authority, and communication methods.
Prescriptive Authority (APRNs)
APRNs may prescribe Schedules III–V controlled substances acceptable if authorized in the Practice Agreement, while Schedule II prescribing is restricted and allowed only under specific conditions (e.g., hospice, palliative care—72-hour supply).
Physician Assistant (PA) Supervision
PAs must practice under a Supervising Physician Agreement under the following rules: Supervision may be onsite at the clinic's location or via telecommunication. Agreement must define supervision method, delegated tasks, and prescribing authority. A physician must review PA charts (percentage determined by practice setting). A physician may supervise up to 6 PAs or APRNs combined (exceptions possible with approval).
RN & Aesthetic Procedure Delegation
RNs may perform medical aesthetic procedures only under a physician’s delegation. These are the procedures requiring physician delegation: Botox & dermal fillers Laser hair removal Microneedling IV therapy Chemical peels Medical-grade devices
Delegation of Medical Procedures
South Carolina allows physicians to delegate medical tasks if: Tasks do not require independent medical judgment Tasks fall within the supervising physician’s scope Provider is trained and competent Documentation and protocols are maintained The delegation must include written protocols, a competency verification, and documentation of supervision.
