If the non-physician and physician create an MSO (medical services organization), and the state allows a non-physician to own a medspa, as is allowed in my state (Georgia), then this is completely legal. I have consulted with attorneys that specialize in this matter. Thanks for your comment!

This is EXACTLY the answer I was seeking! You have been incredibly helpful! If prescribing the medspa-related meds is out of scope of practice, then I will pursue another route. Thank you so much! ?

If you read my post, you would see the association that I was making. Have a great day!

I'm in Georgia. The "physician corporation" legalities have been addressed. Thanks for asking. That's what I figured I'd have to do. (AGNP) Thanks for your feedback! ?

Hi, all! I'm considering going back to school for my NP. I own a medspa and am trying to reduce the need for my Medical Director. No plans to work at a hospital, just make it more convenient for me at my business. I only want the autonomy so that I can prescribe and assess patients without the MD needing to do an initial exam for every patient. If my medical director wins the lottery and decides to leave, I'd like to do it myself. I was thinking that a Psych NP would work, but I don't know if they can write orders and prescribe weight loss meds and other aesthetic related meds (injectables and the like) versus solely doing psych meds. I don't like peds so I'd rather skip that rotation if possible (so no FNP). A few FNP friends suggested Psych NP or Adult Geriatrics NP. I would do Women's Health, but I treat men at the medspa as well, and I need to be able to write scripts for men and women. Can Psych NPs work at medspas or should I pursue a different NP? All advice welcome!
