Common Challenges Clinic Owners Face Without A Qualified Supervising Physician in Delaware
Starting or expanding your own clinical practice can be challenging without a qualified or competent collaborating physician in Delaware. Here’s why:
Delayed clinic openings due to missing physician supervision
A collaborating physician must provide adequate supervision and be involved in patient care; without it, clinics face potential delays and revenue losses.
Restrictive oversight and slow response times from current MDs
A licensed physician must be available for active patient care and routinely present for physician coverage if needed.
Compliance confusion leading to legal and financial risk
Medical directors ensure current certifications are up-to-date, and provide accurate information to clinic owners to avoid legal and financial problems.
At Medical Director Co., we help you overcome these challenges for a smoother transition and placement process to ensure regulatory compliance and appropriate patient care at all times.

Delaware Oversight Compliance Rules
Here’s a comprehensive guide to Delaware oversight compliance rules for your practice.
Nurse Practitioner (APRN) Collaboration Rules
In Delaware, nurse practitioners (NPs) are regulated under Title 24, Chapter 19 of the Delaware Code and the Delaware Board of Nursing. Newly licensed APRNs must maintain a collaboration agreement with a physician or experienced APRN. After 2 years and at least 4,000 hours of clinical experience under collaboration, NPs may apply for independent practice.
Prescriptive Authority
APRNs may prescribe legend and controlled substances if authorized by their collaborative agreement. Controlled substance prescribing requires a valid DEA registration and documentation of physician collaboration (if applicable). PAs must register biennially with the Secretary of the Department of Health and Social Services. Both prescription and non-prescription drugs may be initiated by standing orders if approved by a supervising physician.
Physician Assistant Supervision
PAs must operate under a written collaborative agreement with a supervising physician per Delaware Code Title 24, §1771–§1776. The agreement must outline the physician assistant's scope of practice, delegation, and chart review requirements. Supervision may be on-site or remote, depending on clinical activity. Under 24 DE Code § 1770A, the constant physical presence of a collaborating physician is not required on-site in the practice setting, provided that they are readily accessible via electronic communication.
Delegation of Medical & Aesthetic Procedures
Only licensed physicians can delegate medical acts in Delaware. Aesthetic treatments, such as Botox, fillers, microneedling, and IV therapy, may be delegated to licensed RNs or other qualified personnel under direct or indirect supervision. Assigned medical acts must include training documentation and written protocols.
Telehealth Oversight in Delaware
Telehealth is authorized under Title 24, §1769D for licensed Delaware providers. The supervising physician must maintain the same standard of care as on-site clinic visits. Both the delegating physician and provider must be licensed in Delaware.
Malpractice & Liability Requirements
Physicians serving as medical directors must maintain malpractice insurance consistent with the scope of delegated practice. Clinics must also maintain coverage for all providers.
Common Compliance Mistakes We Prevent
At Medical Director Co., we help prevent common compliance mistakes, such as the following:
- APRNs practicing without valid collaboration agreements
- Med spas operating without physician oversight
- Delegation of procedures to unlicensed or untrained personnel
- Telehealth operations lacking proper supervision documentation
- Prescribing therapeutic drugs/prescription drugs without physician approval
- Operating with an invalid temporary license
