Professional Entity
A business entity, such as a professional corporation (PC) or professional limited liability company (PLLC), that is owned by licensed professionals to deliver professional services.
Why it matters
In states with corporate-practice-of-medicine restrictions, a physician-owned professional entity may be required to deliver clinical services.
State variation
How Professional Entity 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.
