Common Challenges Louisiana Healthcare Providers Face
Here are the common challenges registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants across Louisiana face when starting, running, or expanding their practice, and how Medical Director Co. effectively addresses these concerns:
Clinic openings delayed due to missing physician supervision

Time is one of your most precious resources. An MD who isn’t a right fit for your practice will only hold you back—you need a committed partner who efficiently provides medical oversight in Louisiana.

How a Medical Director Supports Your Louisiana Practice
A Louisiana-licensed Medical Director provides clinical oversight, prescriptive authority, and compliance documentation to ensure your practice meets the state’s legal certification requirements under the Louisiana Administrative Code, Title 46 (LAC Title 46) and the LSBME regulations.
In instances where the scope of a state’s rules and regulations are subject to change on a case-by-case basis, having a medical director or supervising physician in Louisiana is a game-changer in ensuring patient safety and compliance at all times.
Louisiana Oversight Compliance Rules
From regulatory oversight to malpractice and insurance protocols, here’s a comprehensive guide to Louisiana compliance rules for your clinic.
Regulatory Oversight
Medical supervision and collaboration in Louisiana are handled by the following regulatory bodies: Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners (LSBME): The Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners is a medical governing body that oversees the licensing, regulation, and discipline of healthcare clinics across Louisiana. Louisiana State Board of Nursing (LSBN): The Louisiana State Board of Nursing evaluates license applications and sets standards for nursing practices in the state. Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC) Title 46: This section contains subchapters for regulations governing a wide range of professional and occupational standards in Louisiana, including those relevant to medical directors under different boards.
Nurse Practitioner (APRN) Collaboration
As governed by LAC 46:XLVII.4513 and LSBN Rule 4513, Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) in Louisiana must enter into a Collaborative Practice Agreement (CPA) with a licensed physician, where the CPA must include provisions for the scope of practice, prescription authority, and consultation and referral procedures. Physicians must be available for consultation, though not necessarily on-site.
Prescriptive Authority
APRNs may prescribe controlled substances (Schedule II–V) with a collaborative practice agreement or physician authorization in their CPA. Controlled substance prescribing requires registration with the Louisiana Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP).
Physician Assistant (PA) Supervision
Physician assistants (PAs) must work under a Supervising Physician Agreement approved by the LSBME. The agreement must specify supervision level, prescriptive authority, and clinical protocols.
RN Delegation
Registered nurses (RNs) may perform procedures delegated by a physician or APRN, provided the task is within the nurse’s competency and training.
Med Spa & Aesthetic Procedure Regulation
Aesthetic procedures such as Botox, fillers, microneedling, and laser treatments are considered medical procedures in Louisiana. They must be performed under the delegation and supervision of a licensed physician. Non-physicians cannot own medical spas unless structured through an arrangement with the Management Services Organization (MSO).
Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM)
Louisiana prohibits non-physicians from owning or controlling medical practices. Administrative operations may be managed under an MSO model, separating business management from clinical control.
Telehealth Regulations
Louisiana allows telehealth practice under the Louisiana Revised Statutes (R.S. 37:1271.1), provided both the physician and the provider are licensed in the state, and standards of care match in-person treatment.
Malpractice & Insurance
Supervising physicians must maintain malpractice coverage appropriate for delegated and collaborative acts, with a minimum recommended coverage of $100,000 per occurrence or $300,000 aggregate.
Common Compliance Mistakes We Prevent at Medical Director Co.
- APRNs operating without a Collaborative Practice Agreement (CPA)
- Med spas administering injectables and other aesthetic services without physician oversight
- PAs practicing without an approved supervision agreement
- Clinics violating the Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) by non-physician ownership structures
