Who We
Serve in Utah
We provide services tailored to the needs of healthcare professionals across Utah.
Nurse Practitioners / APRNs
APRNs in Utah practice independently, but controlled substance prescribing requires compliance with Utah-specific regulations. Our physicians provide the necessary consultation and clinical guidance to ensure APRNs remain compliant while operating autonomously. We also help APRNs develop proper documentation, prescribing protocols, and detailed plans for aesthetic, IV therapy, and wellness services. Oversight is available for procedures requiring supervision, helping APRNs deliver high-quality care while maintaining their legal scope of practice.
Registered Nurses
For RNs operating medspas, IV hydration practices, or wellness clinics, proper delegation under Utah Administrative Rule R156-31b is required for procedures such as injectables, lasers, and IV therapy. We support RNs in obtaining appropriate delegation, maintaining clinical compliance, and following established treatment protocols. Our services include chart review and ongoing oversight to ensure RNs meet all regulatory standards. We match RNs with the correct supervising physician to promote seamless operations.
Physician Assistants
Utah law requires PAs to practice under physician supervision. Our Collaborating Physicians help establish supervision agreements that align with Utah statutes, clinical leadership standards, and the needs of the patient population. Supervision includes prescriptive authority parameters, performance review, and ongoing support.
Medspa Owners & Estheticians
Estheticians who provide injectables, microneedling, or advanced aesthetic procedures must work under the supervision of a licensed Medical Director. We offer Medspa Medical Directors with extensive knowledge of Utah rules and aesthetic safety standards. Our Medical Directors promote clinical excellence by providing treatment protocols, ensuring compliant delegation, and guiding estheticians in delivering safe and effective patient care.
Telehealth Providers
Telehealth practices in Utah require physician supervision from a Utah-licensed provider. We supply supervising physicians who understand telehealth regulations, including prescribing oversight, documentation requirements, and standards of care that must match in-person treatment. We also help maintain compliance with telehealth protocols that support outpatient care and ensure continuity of services across virtual clinical settings.
Weight Loss & IV Therapy Clinics
GLP-1 weight loss programs and IV hydration clinics must follow strict prescribing rules, ordering authority, and safety protocols. Our Medical Directors support compliance with Utah controlled substance regulations, oversee ordering authority for IV therapies, and ensure that documentation meets standards for patient safety and reimbursement accuracy. We help clinics operate within legal guidelines while maintaining consistent, high-quality care.
How a Utah Medical Director Supports Your Practice

Utah Oversight Compliance Rules
Operating a healthcare practice in Utah requires strict adherence to state-specific laws and regulatory standards issued by the Utah Medical Board and Utah Board of Nursing. Clinics must follow the Utah Medical Practice Act, Nurse Practice Act, and applicable administrative rules, as well as evidence-based medicine principles to ensure patient safety, proper documentation, and high-quality care.
Collaborative Agreements
Utah clinics must comply with strict oversight requirements set by the Utah Medical Board, the Utah Board of Nursing, and the Utah Administrative Code. APRNs and PAs must maintain compliant supervision or consultation agreements, ensuring proper documentation of licensing, scope of practice, and physician collaboration standards. Telehealth providers must also ensure supervising physicians are Utah-licensed and meet all availability and documentation requirements under the Utah Telehealth Act.
Prescriptive Authority
All prescribing in Utah, including GLP-1s and controlled substances, must comply with the Utah Controlled Substances Act, DEA rules, and Utah CSD reporting. APRNs must hold a Utah Controlled Substance License, maintain CSD registration, and follow prescribing protocols that include scope documentation and consultation when clinically required.
Delegation Protocols
RNs performing aesthetic or IV therapy services must follow Utah Administrative Rule R156-31b regarding delegation and supervision. Most aesthetic procedures are considered medical treatments in Utah and, therefore, require physician supervision, approved delegation pathways, and clinic protocols that align with Utah Medical Board guidelines. PAs must also meet supervision standards defined by the Physician Assistant Licensing Act, including ongoing oversight and proper documentation.
Malpractice Insurance
Supervising physicians must carry malpractice insurance that covers all delegated and supervised activities, including aesthetic procedures, IV therapy, and telehealth services.
Common Mistakes We Prevent
- Medspas operating without physician oversight.
- RNs or estheticians performing Botox or fillers independently.
- Improper delegation without approved standardized procedures.
- Undocumented or non-compliant controlled-substance prescribing.
- Clinics violating CPOM rules by allowing non-physician influence over medical decisions.
- Telehealth operations without a Utah-licensed supervising physician.

Frequently Asked Questions – Utah
Can an APRN open a medspa in Utah?
Yes. APRNs may own a medspa, but prescribing and controlled-substance rules still apply, including CSD registration and proper collaboration when needed.
Can RNs inject Botox?
Yes. RNs can inject Botox only with physician delegation and supervision in accordance with Utah’s scope-of-practice rules.
Can Utah physicians supervise remotely?
Yes. Remote supervision is allowed for qualified telehealth services, provided the physician is Utah-licensed and meets the Telehealth Act’s availability and documentation standards.
