Utah Lets Nolla Health's AI Issue Initial Acne Prescriptions Without Doctor Sign-Off in First-of-Kind US Pilot

Utah's Office of AI Policy, Division of Professional Licensing and Nolla Health (via Magic Health) authorized the Nolla Derm app to issue initial AI prescriptions for eight topical acne medications to adult residents at $4.99/month, after a five-angle face scan and intake flow — the first time a US state has let AI replace a doctor's sign-off on an initial prescription rather than a refill. The pilot bars hormonal therapies and oral pills, and layers in physician review of every initial prescription plus daily retroactive and weekly sampling audits.
