Corporate Practice of Medicine

Southern Health Lawyers recognizes and understands that the healthcare industry is comprised not only of licensed providers, but also a variety of other participants.  The Corporate Practice of Medicine Doctrine prohibits a corporation from employing a physician or from practice medicine.  States vary to the extent to which they articulate or even enforce the Corporate Practice of Medicine Doctrine.  Regulatory issues implicated by the Corporate Practice of Medicine Doctrine must be considered and analyzed in any venture involving licensed providers and unlicensed individuals or entities.  Attorneys at Southern Health Lawyers have extensive experience in structuring arrangements between licensed and unlicensed entities or entities and in the preparation of management agreements and related contracts that comport with regulatory issues related to the Corporate Practice of Medicine Doctrine.
