Physician supervision & delegation in Indiana

Indiana defines the practice of medicine broadly; injectables and energy procedures are the practice of medicine unless performed by a licensed professional within scope or under proper delegation.

  • The “practice of medicine” includes prescribing or administering any form of treatment and procedures that cut, burn, or vaporize tissue by mechanical means, laser, or penetration of the skin — the statutory basis for treating cosmetic injectables and energy-device procedures as medicine.

    Ind. Code §25-22.5-1-1.1 · verified Jul 26, 2026
