Multi State Practices - Developments

In response to Covid, many states loosened their licensing requirements to allow out of state physicians to practice medicine and treat pandemic patients. This development has accelerated the goal of universal licensing, which was already in process through a compact among midwestern jurisdictions. At the same time, physician practices have been expanding region- and nation-wide through multi state corporations or by merger or other methods.

Practices should consider how they can expand across state lines for several reasons. Among these are physician shortages in rural areas, smaller communities and elsewhere. Also there continues to be a surge in retirements and closures of practices as more boomer professionals are shutting down or being bought out.

This webinar will discuss the universal licensure concept, including which states have adopted it and requirements to participate. We will also review the ways medical corporations can expand regionally and nationally. Further, the session will outline the most popular methods used to roll up primary and specialty practices across the country.
