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.
