Wyoming med-spa compliance rules

46 rules across 7 topics — physician delegation, the good-faith exam, ownership & corporate practice of medicine, RN/NP scope, med-spa registration, advertising, and enforcement — each linked to its primary source. Reference and monitoring, not legal advice.

Physician supervision & delegation8 cited rules

A person is practicing medicine who advertises, holds out or represents to the public that they are authorized to practice medicine; who offers or undertakes to prevent, diagnose, correct or treat, in any manner, by any means, method or device, any human disease, illness, pain, wound, infirmity, defect or abnormal…

Good-faith examination4 cited rules

RN / NP scope for injectables6 cited rules

Wyoming writes prescribing authority into the DEFINITION of the advanced practice registered nurse.

Med-spa registration & licensing14 cited rules

Wyoming licenses the PREMISES through the cosmetology board, and the board’s own rules put a PRICE on it. A “salon” means any place Licensed Under The Act in which cosmetology is practiced, and no person, association, partnership or corporation may operate a salon without first securing a license from the Board — the application goes in at least fifteen days before opening, with the fees, a completed inspection sheet and a detailed floor plan. The statute delegates the amounts to the board, and the board’s fee chapter names them: a salon application fee of $225.00, a salon license of $75.00 per year, a personal license (cosmetologist, nail technician, esthetician, hairstylist or instructor) of $48.00 per year and an independent contractor license of $75.00 per year, all non-refundable. The salon rules also draw the med spa line inside the premises: medical services are listed among the services allowed in a salon that the board does not regulate, but all medical services and treatments must be offered in a separate room from cosmetology services and only licensed medical staff may perform them. On the drug-supply side the Board of Pharmacy’s general practice rules answer the compounded-GLP-1 question directly: a prescription may not be dispensed to a practitioner on an order that is not issued for one specific patient, and an order for “office use” is not a valid order; “compounding” excludes work done in an FDA-registered outsourcing facility and includes anticipatory preparation based on routine, regularly observed prescribing patterns. The Act’s exemption for licensed physicians and other named professionals is set out in the supervision section of this reference; these claims do not themselves carry it.

  • The Wyoming State Board of Pharmacy states that it “does not yet have a separate license type for Outsourcing Facilities” and is still creating that license type. In the meantime, “an entity that is shipping to individuals in Wyoming may be licensed as a Non-Resident Pharmacy and an entity that is shipping to facilities/pharmacies in Wyoming may be licensed as a Wholesale Distributor”. So a 503B outsourcing facility sending product into Wyoming is licensed under one of those two existing categories depending on who it ships to.
