The state-by-state rule that requires the practice of medicine should be governed by individuals with clinical expertise rather than commercial or corporate entities.

CPOM protects the integrity of doctor-patient relationships and helps facilitate the practice that medical decisions should be based on clinical judgement versus financial considerations.

CPOM is a patchwork of state-specific regulations, each with its own nuances and exceptions making it very complex to understand nationwide.

The operating business (also known as a Management Services Organization, or MSO) partners with a Professional Corporation (often times referred to as a “friendly PC”) that administers the clinical care. This entity is wholly owned by a physician licensed in that state, who offers important medical oversight, expertise, and operational support to the PC and the MSO.

1. Regulatory Compliance: The primary purpose of the PC Owner is to help a healthcare business operate in a manner that complies with CPOM laws. A PC Owner also ensures that the business complies with other healthcare laws, including HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), billing and coding regulations, and other relevant guidelines.

2. Medical Oversight: A PC Owner is responsible for overseeing the medical aspects of the business. PC Owners make sure that patient care protocols are followed, review medical decisions, and maintain high standards of patient care.

3. Business Structure: A PC Owner helps structure the business in a way that aligns with legal requirements. This includes determining who can be involved in decision-making processes and what types of services can be provided by the business.

4. Strategic Direction: The PC Owner may contribute to the strategic planning and overall direction of the business. They provide valuable input based on their medical expertise, helping to guide decisions that align with best practices in the healthcare industry.
