Moderator ventana Posted October 1, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 1, 2012 check out AAPA they tpically have some info points to research does FL have a law against the "corporate practice of medicine" if they do it means you can NOT just form a C-corp and hire a doc, but instead must form a professional service corp (PC) and have 1% owned by another provider - ie NP DO MD but not another PA or you can't bill medicare... you have to incorporate if you bill medicare you have to sign an assignment of benefits to bill medicare I found that a 1% doc owner works nicely so far - then I am planing on getting a doc lined up to take over in case of accident or death of the primary doc so I would still be able to practice - might even hire a doc to work with me I kept the doc out the day to day runnings you should have a good attorney and talk and research a lot - start with the PA board in Fl, then the FL PA section, then the medical board (they likely will not like you) and then AAPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianprepa Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Florida has an additional requirement: the health care clinic act. If all the owners are not PAs themselves, then you will have to go through a licensure process as a health care clinic. Even if the current business that you are purchasing has non-PA owners and already have a health care clinic license, you will have to reapply if you purchase 50% or more ownership.

Eddie G Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I own a radiology center and I employ three radiologist, one full time and two prn. I also employ a cardiologist to read the echo's. I have an exemption with AHCA, since I'm licensed under chapter 458. I'm planning to start a medicaid practice in 2014 in the area since there is only one provider who accepts it.
