PC Owner Support

A Professional Corporation (PC) is a business entity legally required in many U.S. states when practicing medicine or delivering healthcare services. Given that most states prohibit non-physicians from owning medical practices under Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) laws, healthcare startups and investors need to carefully structure their organizations to remain compliant.

​

This is where the expertise of our group of physicians can provide crucial support.

​

A PC Owner Support model involves a medical corporation owned by a licensed physician (the “supportive” role), but contractually aligned with a Management Services Organization (MSO). The MSO—often managed by entrepreneurs, investors, or non-clinicians—oversees the business, operational, and administrative functions of the practice, while the physician-owned PC retains full control over clinical decision-making.

This collaboration allows healthcare companies and clinicians to:

• Comply with state CPOM laws

• Launch and scale telemedicine operations across multiple states

• Maintain clear boundaries between clinical care and business management

• Minimize legal, regulatory, and financial risk

For clinicians aiming to expand their practice across multiple states, the PC Owner Support model ensures both compliance and operational ease. This setup enables:

• Physicians to maintain authority over patient care

• The MSO to handle operations, billing, vendor management, and compliance

• Patients to receive care within a legally sound and scalable framework

Without this model, clinicians risk violating CPOM laws, leading to potential penalties, loss of licensure, or other compliance issues.
