A proposal based on the work involved
A Florida oversight engagement should describe the actual clinical responsibilities, not just provide a physician’s name. Pricing is discussed after reviewing the practice, service menu, professional team and location. We do not publish a Florida hourly benchmark, standard retainer or guaranteed onboarding date.
- Which clinicians and procedures require supervision, protocols or consultation?
- What on-site participation and geographic restrictions apply?
- What chart review, evaluation, training and escalation work is included?
- Are additional locations, medication programs or devices proposed?
- What documentation, records access and transition work are needed?
Separate business policies from Florida law
Florida requirements depend on the professional licenses, services and practice setting. Our participation policies add expectations for our own engagements; they do not define a statewide legal minimum or guarantee that an arrangement is compliant.
For example, off-site aesthetic supervision may trigger particular physician specialty, geographic and office limits. Do not assume a lower-cost remote-only arrangement is available for every Florida practice.

$10 good-faith exams for participating practices
The stated price is $10 per exam, covering up to three delegated services within an established participating-practice clinical relationship. Exams connect patient evaluation, clinical oversight and documentation in our proprietary EMR. We do not offer standalone exams to outside organizations.
This is our exam offering, not a quote for the entire oversight engagement, a universal Florida exam requirement or approval for every proposed treatment. The evaluating clinician determines what assessment and follow-up are appropriate. Confirm eligibility, included services and the complete written pricing before beginning.
Spa Shield participation and physician exam policy
Participation in Spa Shield is a condition of working with Florida Med Spa Directors. Its operating policies and management tools form part of the participation discussion.
Under the stated Spa Shield policy, the supervising physician is expected to personally perform at least 10% of good-faith exams at each location they supervise. Performing the exams is different from reviewing or signing another clinician’s work. Track participation by location.
The 10% figure is an internal business policy, not a Florida statutory supervision minimum, a substitute for on-site requirements or a compliance certification.
Review compensation and agreements before signing
The proposal should identify activities, locations, availability, fees, exclusions, payment terms and changes to scope. Compensation should reflect the work and responsibilities accepted. Counsel should review management and marketing fees, referrals and any percentage-based compensation for Florida fee-splitting, kickback and patient-brokering issues; a fair-market-value label alone does not resolve those questions.

From inquiry to a documented engagement
- Introduce the practice. Share your location, treatment menu, provider roles and timeline without patient information.
- Review fit. Discuss qualifications, availability, required supervision and operational needs.
- Review the written scope. Settle responsibilities, pricing, coverage, records and transition terms with the appropriate professionals.
- Confirm readiness. Complete agreed credential review, protocols, participation and onboarding before clinical work begins.
An inquiry does not create clinical coverage, employment or a paid engagement and does not authorize a charge. Clinical outcomes, provider income and patient volume are not guaranteed.
