Hygienist Direct Access Rules: Alabama requires collaboration with an on-site dentist. States that are most restrictive regarding the supervision of dental hygienists require the on-site supervision of a dentist, many times referring to this as direct or indirect supervision. Alabama is an example of a state in which a dentist is required to provide on-site supervision whenever a dental hygienist is treating patients.

Pain Management Clinic Registration: Florida Dept. of Health
In Florida, all allopathic and osteopathic physicians practicing pain-management by prescribing controlled substances to patients with chronic-non-malignant pain are required to register and be inspected by the Department of Health. Pain-management clinics are those that advertise in any medium for any type of pain-management services or where in any month a majority of patients are prescribed certain controlled substances for the treatment of chronic non-malignant pain. The Department will register and inspect the clinics to ensure the safety of the people in Florida.
NOTE: If the Pain Management Clinic will not be entirely physician-owned, registration with the Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) is required. The processing time for this registration can be lengthy; therefore AHCA registration should be completed before applying for the Pain Management Clinic Registration.
