New York Strictly Enforces the Corporate Practice of Medicine Doctrine
New York is one of the most rigorously enforced CPOM jurisdictions in the country. Laypersons and traditional corporations are strictly prohibited from owning a medical practice, employing physicians to practice medicine, or exerting operational control over clinical decisions. Med spas, telehealth brands, and wellness clinics in New York must operate through a specialized PC–MSO structure to remain compliant.
- Professional Corporation (PC) owned by a licensed physician holds all clinical activity
- Management Services Organization (MSO) owns the brand, marketing, real estate, and operations
- Management Services Agreement (MSA) governs the relationship at fair market value
- Clinical authority — protocols, hiring, treatment decisions — stays inside the PC
Streamlined Compliance in New York
New York is not a member of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, so we use a direct state-licensure pathway, matching you with physicians already licensed in New York and building a compliant framework that protects your investment and lets you scale. Because New York enforces CPOM strictly across a healthcare market spanning dense NYC boroughs to upstate cities like Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany, your PC–MSO structure needs to hold up to the same scrutiny in Manhattan as it does anywhere else in the state; we built it that way from day one.

Find a Medical Director in New York
If you're searching to "find a medical director in New York," you already know that state regulations require proper physician oversight for med spas, IV hydration clinics, and telehealth platforms.

Our collaborating physicians provide the chart reviews, protocol approvals, and clinical leadership required to keep your practice compliant and safe.
How to Open a Wellness Clinic in New York

The first and most critical step is understanding New York's strictly enforced medical board regulations and PC–MSO ownership structures, proper medical oversight and compliance are non-negotiable here. We help entrepreneurs establish a compliant operational framework — you legally own and operate the business side while a licensed New York physician handles clinical oversight and protocol approvals.
The Flow of Funds & PC Ownership
Proper financial structuring is key to a compliant practice in New York.

Medical Director Services in New York — Common Questions.
Who can legally own a medspa or wellness clinic in New York?
In New York, only a licensed physician (MD or DO) can own and control a medical practice or medspa under the Corporate Practice of Medicine doctrine. Non-physicians can own the business side through an MSO, but never clinical operations or decision-making authority.
Do I need a Medical Director if I'm not a practicing physician?
Yes. If you're a non-physician owner in New York, state law requires a licensed physician to serve as Medical Director, holding all clinical authority, protocol approval, and treatment oversight through a compliant PC–MSO structure that keeps your business side separate from clinical decisions.
Can nurse practitioners perform procedures like Botox or fillers?
Yes, but only under a Medical Director's approved protocols and required oversight. New York NPs can perform injectables like Botox and fillers within their scope of practice, provided a collaborating or supervising physician has signed off on delegation, training, and safety standards.
Is it mandatory to have a Medical Director onsite at all times?
No. New York doesn't require constant onsite presence, but your Medical Director must provide meaningful oversight, reviewing protocols, conducting chart audits, and remaining reasonably available for consultation, emergencies, and staff supervision based on the procedures your clinic offers.
What are the risks of operating without proper Medical Director supervision?
Operating without a compliant Medical Director exposes you to Medical Board sanctions, fines, practice closure, and personal liability for CPOM violations. It also increases malpractice exposure, jeopardizes insurance coverage, and can invalidate contracts, licenses, or credentialing tied to proper physician oversight.
