FAQ

Common questions.

PLLC vs LLC?
Many states require licensed professionals (doctors, dentists, attorneys, accountants) to form a PLLC (Professional LLC) or PC (Professional Corporation) instead of a standard LLC. The state board approves the entity formation.
Which states require PLLC?
About 30 states. The list includes California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, and more. We confirm for your state and specialty.
Multi-provider ownership?
Most states require all owners of a professional entity to be licensed in the same profession. Some states (Tennessee, others) allow non-licensed minority ownership.
HIPAA compliance?
Our platform is HIPAA-aware. Business Associate Agreements (BAA) are available on Scale plans for customers handling PHI.
What about Stark Law and AKS?
These are complex healthcare-specific compliance areas. We connect you to specialty healthcare attorneys for compliance review.
Insurance credentialing?
Credentialing with insurance panels (Aetna, BCBS, UHC, Medicare, Medicaid) is a separate, slow process. We connect you to credentialing partners.
OIG and SAM checks?
Required for any provider billing Medicare or Medicaid, plus for staff. We connect to partners who run these.
Multi-state telehealth?
State board licensing in each state where you treat patients (with some interstate compact exceptions). Foreign qualification of your professional entity in those states.
Dental practice acquisitions?
Common path: buy the assets, form a new PLLC in your name. We handle the entity side; specialty attorneys handle the purchase agreement.
Pricing?
$0 PLLC formation (state fee at cost). Compliance + RA + document vault on Growth. BAA available on Scale.
