Understanding your capabilities and practice authority as an NP performing sclerotherapy treatments.
As a nurse practitioner, you have advanced practice authority that allows you to perform procedures like sclerotherapy. In full practice authority states (currently 27 states plus DC), you can practice independently without physician oversight. In reduced or restricted practice states, you'll need a collaborative agreement or physician supervision. Your NP education and clinical training provide an excellent foundation for performing safe, effective vein treatments.
Add a high-demand, cash-pay service to your practice. Sclerotherapy treatments generate excellent revenue with minimal overhead.
In full practice authority states, NPs can own and operate their own aesthetic clinics, independently performing sclerotherapy and other procedures.
Sclerotherapy skills make you more valuable to aesthetic practices and open doors to higher-paying positions in medical spas and vein clinics.
In states requiring physician collaboration, many NPs establish collaborative agreements with physicians who provide oversight while allowing the NP to perform day-to-day patient care and procedures. This arrangement can work well in multi-provider aesthetic practices or through telemedicine collaborations.
Receive your AAOPM Certificate of Completion with 8.0 CME credits. This certification demonstrates your competency in sclerotherapy procedures and satisfies requirements for malpractice insurance and practice credentialing.
