Question 1 of 5

Does your practice administer prescription treatments — injectables, IV therapy, hormone prescriptions, or similar?

This covers Botox, fillers, NAD+, BHRT, PRP, and any other treatment requiring a prescription, order, or medical oversight.

Yes — we currently offer these services

Not yet — we're opening or planning to add these services

No — we only offer non-prescription services

Facials, waxing, massage, or esthetic services that require no Rx or medical order

Do you have a licensed medical director actively overseeing your clinical protocols?

A medical director isn't just a name on paper — they should be reviewing charts, signing standing orders, and available for clinical questions.

Yes — actively involved with regular chart review and documented protocols

Yes — but the arrangement is informal or their involvement is minimal

No — we don't have a medical director in place

Not sure what our services require

Is your practice owned in whole or in part by a non-licensed principal?

This includes business investors, estheticians, lay partners, or LLCs without a licensed healthcare provider as an owner.

Yes — owned by a non-physician, non-licensed investor, or lay partner

No — I'm a licensed provider (NP, PA, physician) and the sole or primary owner

Mixed — both licensed and non-licensed principals

Do you have written standing orders, emergency protocols, and a documented chart review process?

These are the operational documents that prove a medical director relationship exists — regulators and insurers ask for them.

Yes — all in place, current, and signed

Partially — some documentation exists but it's incomplete or hasn't been reviewed recently

No — these documents aren't in place

Have you reviewed Arizona's medspa oversight and scope-of-practice requirements for your service menu in the last 12 months?

Arizona rules around who can supervise what, and under what conditions, have evolved — staying current matters.

Yes — reviewed recently and we're confident we're compliant

Not in the last year — we're overdue for a review

I'm not sure what Arizona requires for our specific services
