Medical directors safeguard your clinic’s reputation and stability, providing clarity and guidance for all necessary compliance requirements.

Who We
Serve in Maine
We offer comprehensive support specifically designed for Maine’s healthcare professionals.
Advanced Practice Registered Nurses
Our physicians provide essential collaborative oversight for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) during their supervised practice in Maine. We assist NPs in meeting state requirements for supervised hours and guide them through critical areas, including prescriptive authority alignment, scope delegation, and the creation of robust clinical protocols. We empower Nurse Practitioners (NPs) by providing the necessary support for a successful transition to delivering high-quality, independent care upon achieving eligibility. Furthermore, we offer Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) and NPs continuous access to medical education and ongoing resources to foster their professional growth and improve their clinical skills.
Physician Assistants
Physician Assistants in Maine must maintain a practice agreement with a supervising physician who is board-certified as an MD. Our collaborating MDs establish clear delegation standards, define scope-of-practice expectations, and conduct regular chart reviews to support safe, compliant practice. We emphasize a collaborative approach that integrates advanced practice professionals into care teams, ensuring high standards of safety and compliance. This structured oversight helps PAs fulfill essential clinical responsibilities while meeting all regulatory requirements.
Registered Nurses
Registered Nurses (RNs) who perform medical aesthetic or advanced wellness procedures require appropriate delegation from a physician. We specialize in helping RNs secure this necessary oversight for a range of treatments, including injectables, laser services, and other medical spa procedures. Our assistance ensures RNs adhere to all training, certification, and protocol requirements, facilitating seamless and compliant clinical operations.
Estheticians in Medical Spas
For estheticians providing cosmetic treatments such as injectables, microneedling, and advanced skincare services, operating under the supervision of a licensed Medical Director is mandatory. Furthermore, participation in a medical group structure offers significant advantages, including thorough oversight, dedicated support, and streamlined collaboration across practice locations. We provide experienced medspa Medical Directors who understand both regulatory compliance and aesthetic practice growth. Through proper delegation and training alignment, we help estheticians deliver safe, high-quality results that prioritize patient safety and satisfaction.
How a Medical Director Supports Providers in Maine

Primary functions include:
- Legally compliant scope delegation for aesthetic and medical tasks
- Prescribing authority oversight for NPs and PAs

- Operational guidance for launching or expanding services
Maine Oversight Compliance Rules
Collaborative Practice for Nurse Practitioners
In Maine, the practice of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) is regulated by the Maine State Board of Nursing through the APRN Practice Regulations, specifically Chapter 8. To achieve independent practice authority, state law requires newly licensed NPs to complete a supervised practice period. This mandatory supervision requires a Collaborative Practice Agreement (CPA) with either an experienced NP or a physician and must span a minimum of 24 months or 3,200 hours. This requirement, outlined in Maine Revised Statutes Title 32 §2102, ensures that developing clinicians build the necessary clinical judgment, prescribing competence, and patient safety skills. After completing this supervised period, the NP may apply for full independent practice authority and transition out of collaborative oversight.
Prescriptive Authority for NPs & PAs
Prescriptive authority in Maine is regulated by the Maine State Board of Nursing and the Board of Licensure in Medicine. Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants may prescribe medications, including controlled substances, when working under appropriate delegation from a collaborating physician, if they have not yet met the criteria for independent practice. NPs with independent practice approval under state law and current DEA registration are permitted to prescribe medications autonomously. This authority must be exercised in accordance with Maine's professional licensure regulations to ensure prescribing practices are safe and traceable. Our Medical Directors support clinicians by maintaining compliant prescribing frameworks and verifying that all regulatory requirements are up-to-date.
Physician Assistant Supervision
Physician Assistants in Maine must work under a formal practice agreement as required by Maine Revised Statutes Title 32 §2594-F. This agreement must clearly define the PA’s scope of practice, allowed procedures, review expectations, and supervision structure. The agreement must also be submitted to the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine and updated whenever responsibilities or supervisory relationships change. Our supervising physicians ensure that every PA practices within these statutory guidelines by maintaining consistent delegation protocols, conducting required chart reviews, and supporting the PA’s ongoing clinical development.
Delegation of Medical & Cosmetic Procedures
Delegation of medical and cosmetic procedures in Maine is governed by the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine, which specifies that only licensed physicians may diagnose, prescribe, or formally delegate medical acts. For non-physician providers, including Registered Nurses and estheticians, the performance of medical aesthetic services, such as injectables, microneedling, or laser treatments, is permitted only with a physician's explicit delegation. Furthermore, the provider must have documented training appropriate to the specific procedure being performed. These requirements protect patient safety, uphold professional standards, and ensure that aesthetic services operate within legally defined boundaries. Our Medical Directors establish detailed, compliant delegation protocols tailored to each clinic.
Malpractice Insurance
In Maine, medical directors and supervising clinicians who are physicians must legally hold malpractice insurance. This mandatory coverage, according to the Maine Bureau of Insurance, must cover the physician’s own services, as well as all clinical actions and procedures delegated to or carried out under their direct supervision.
Common Compliance Issues We Prevent
- NPs practicing independently before completing the required 24-month collaboration.
- PAs operating without a current practice agreement on file.
- RNs or estheticians performing injectables without delegation.
- Missing documentation for oversight and chart review.

Frequently Asked Questions – Maine
Do medspas in Maine need a Medical Director?
Yes. All medical aesthetic procedures in Maine—such as injectables, lasers, and microneedling—must operate under physician oversight. A licensed Medical Director is required to delegate treatments, establish protocols, and ensure clinical compliance for every medspa.
Can NPs practice independently in Maine?
Yes, but only after completing the state-mandated 24 months or 3,200 hours of supervised practice. Once the Maine Board of Nursing approves their transition, NPs may practice without a collaborating physician.
Can APRNs prescribe independently?
Yes. APRNs who complete their supervised practice period, secure independent practice authority, and obtain DEA registration may prescribe independently. Until then, they must comply with the state’s prescriptive delegation requirements.
Can RNs inject Botox in Maine?
In Maine, Registered Nurses (RNs) are permitted to administer Botox injections provided they meet two conditions: they must have appropriate training, and a supervising Medical Director must actively delegate the procedure. This delegation requires the Medical Director to establish clear protocols and confirm the RN is operating within the limits of Maine’s defined scope of practice.
Can supervision be remote?
Yes. Maine allows telehealth-based collaboration and remote supervision when consistent with state rules for delegation and oversight. This flexibility supports clinics operating across rural or multi-site locations.
How fast is placement?
Placement is typically completed within 12–24 hours. We match clinics with Maine-licensed Medical Directors quickly to prevent delays in opening or expanding services.
