Host Ericka Adler welcomes back Roetzel Healthcare attorney Christina Kuta for a discussion on the newly updated guidelines from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) regarding the operation and ownership of medical spas. As med spas continue to rise in popularity, the question of who can own and operate one has become increasingly relevant. Christina dives deep into the latest guidance, clarifying the roles of both physicians and nurse practitioners in ownership and operations. Ericka and Christina discuss the provisions of services by licensed and unlicensed persons, collaboration with physicians, the importance of management service organizations, and the crucial requirement for owners to be actively involved in the practice. Highlights include common pitfalls many med spas encounter when entering med spa arrangements, including the potential liabilities for med spa owners. The episode also tackles the unique challenges providers face when treating friends and family, especially in the realm of popular cosmetic services like Botox. Learn why it's essential to treat these individuals just like any other patient and understand the repercussions of not adhering to proper protocols. Finally, Christina discusses the critical infection control measures that must be implemented in both traditional and mobile or home-based services. The conversation concludes by urging listeners to take proactive steps to ensure compliance with the new guidelines, reminding everyone that Illinois-based med spas may now subject to heightened enforcement from the IDFPR, and med spas outside Illinois should make sure they follow the requirements for their states.
