What does it cost to open a med spa in Nebraska?
Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
⛔ NEBRASKA SETS THE COST OF ENTRY BY RULE, NOT BY STATUTE, SO THIS IS THE PRICE AND § 38-155 IS ONLY THE AUTHORITY. 001. SCOPE AND AUTHORITY . These regulations establish fees related to the credentialing of individuals and businesses under the Uniform Credentialing Act (UCA), Nebraska Revised Statutes (Neb. Rev. Stat.) §§ 38-101 to 38-1,142. 002. CREDENTIALING FEES . Credentials are renewed biennially unless otherwise noted. The schedule sets Esthetics Salon $150 $150 $50 for re-inspection if required, and Esthetician $95 $118. The premises and the practitioner are licensed separately and priced separately: an esthetics salon pays $150 to open and $150 on each biennial renewal, and an esthetician working in it pays $95 then $118.
