Should LICENSED quasi-medical people have the same LEGAL or PROFESSIONAL code of ethics / confidentiality? Aesthetician? Masseuse? Acupuncture?

[DrPepper12]

For legal I'm thinking about stuff like being compelled to testify, review or sanction before a formal state licensing board, HIPPA laws, etc.

No.

Yes ✅ PROFESSIONAL code of ethics, 🚫 NOT LEGAL

Yes, BOTH LEGAL & PROFESSIONAL code / duty

Why? It’s not like they get intricate health information or personal info like your SSN like your doctor has

[jazzy34]

Absolutely. I wouldn't want my personal spread everywhere by ANYONE without my permission.

I think and acupuncture thing should be given the same protection as doctors since it involves needles.

In my experience, each profession has distinct responsibilities, making a universal code of ethics impractical. Licensed professionals such as aestheticians, masseuses, and acupuncturists are governed by specific boards and regulations pertinent to their field. While confidentiality is crucial, legal obligations can vary. For instance, HIPAA typically applies to healthcare providers, not necessarily to all quasi-medical professionals. Adhering to the ethics and legal requirements specific to each occupation ensures both professionalism and protection for clients and practitioners alike. As always, staying informed about your profession’s rules is essential.

Yes, both.
