In-person map / what to ask at a clinic
Compare an assessment with a treatment offer
You may be looking at an in-person clinic, a medical office or a wellness offer. Start with the person who will decide whether treatment fits you.
Nevada practice and advertising rules: September 2026.
A visit to discuss a health problem versus an offer to choose a product
A care discussion
Ask which details of your goal, past care and current medicines are needed by whoever assesses you.
Ask how the decision will be explained and what the next visit would cover.
Bring your questions before choosing a treatment.
A list of treatments to choose from
Under medical-board guidance, whoever writes your prescription needs more than your choice from a treatment menu.
Ask who turns the request into an assessment, and how that person can decide against it.
Choosing a treatment from a list does not tell you whether it fits your health problem.
Compare the assessment, follow-up and full cost alongside the proposed medicine. The room or website is only part of the offer.
Read the records behind this ↓What does the Nevada licence tell you?
A health professional’s advertisement must state the licence type under Nevada’s September 2026 rules.
Match that type to the right board. Ask who will give the treatment if it is a different person from the one you first speak with.
What if the service calls itself wellness?
Under Nevada’s September 2026 rules, people offering wellness services without a health-care licence cannot give shots or do other work that pierces the skin. They cannot prescribe or give prescription medicines, or decide what disease you have.
Those September 2026 rules also require an unlicensed wellness practitioner’s ads to disclose the lack of a health-care licence.
Ask for the licence behind the proposed medical care, rather than treating the word “wellness” as an answer.
Can an ad guarantee the result?
The Nevada medical board’s advertising rule bars guaranteed treatment results and misleading prices for its licensees, as of September 2026.
Licensees are the people a board licenses. The rule here is the medical board’s rule; do not assume it is the wording used by every other board.
Ask about the proposed result and the evidence behind it. Which findings would make you reconsider the plan?
