New to the board, couple of questions?

[empirePT]

Members do not see this ad.

I have an opportunity to become a partner in a physician owned practice where it would be 50/50. While initially excited about the offer a flood of other thoughts started racing through my mind while trying to sleep last night.

Particularly, are physicians and PT's allowed to be co-owners in a business in Florida? Also, how we can partner without violating the Stark Law and the anti-kickback laws?...or if these laws are even applicable to this situation.

Is it possible for a physician to own a PT practice and not bill incident-to?

I have a lot of experience as a PT but none as a business owner and am asking for anyone that has answers to the above questions. I will now be an active watcher of this board and try to add any wisdom where I can.

Thanks

I have never heard of this. Im just about to start. This is incredibly interesting. Would you mind stating which type of physician you would be working with?
