Botox is considered the practice of medicine in Indiana, since it is a penetration of the skin or body orifice intended for the palliation, relief, or cure of defects or ailments. Botox may only be administered by licensed physicians. However, Indiana's delegation law is expansive, enabling both licensed and unlicensed workers who are under the guidance and supervision of their hiring physician to delegate services deemed to be the practice of medicine, as long as the delegated service is within the physician's scope of practice. Since Indiana does not define the level of oversight required, it is likely to vary based on the service assigned and the individual to whom the delegation was made, as well as their education, training, and experience. As a result, both licensed and unlicensed non-physicians are permitted to administer Botox under the guidance and control of their employing physician.
