Corporate practice of medicine

A legal doctrine restricting who may own or control a medical practice, varying by state.

Why it matters

Ownership structures common in other industries may be restricted; confirm rules before structuring a practice.

State variation

How Corporate practice of medicine applies can differ by state, provider credentials, and the treatments offered. NOVI’s state pages summarize the considerations for Texas, Florida, and California — but always confirm current rules for your jurisdiction with official sources.
