What must a med spa in Ohio report to the board?
Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules set no med-spa reporting duty to the board — clinically significant side effects or failure to progress must be reported immediately to the supervising physician, and training documentation retained by both physician and delegate.
Adverse event reporting is a required component of the eight-hour curriculum every delegated nurse must complete, and documentation that the training was satisfactorily completed must be retained by both the delegating physician and the person delegated to.

The exemption looks generous at first. Exempt from terminal-distributor licensure are “a licensed health professional authorized to prescribe drugs”, and business entities — corporations, LLCs, partnerships or professional associations — whose sole shareholder is a prescriber authorized to provide the services offered, or where every shareholder, member or partner must be licensed to perform the professional service and each such individual is a prescriber.
