Delegated Medical Act

A clinical task that a licensed provider authorizes another qualified person to perform within an established protocol.

Why it matters

Delegated medical acts must align with state delegation and supervision rules; the delegating provider remains responsible for oversight.

State variation

How Delegated Medical Act applies can differ by state, provider credentials, and the treatments offered. NOVI’s state pages summarize the considerations for Texas, Florida, and California — but always confirm current rules for your jurisdiction with official sources.
