CPOM Laws: A State-by-State Analysis

The Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) doctrine prohibits non-physician entities from practicing medicine, employing physicians, or controlling clinical decision-making.

CPOM laws vary dramatically across states. Some states enforce strict restrictions, while others have more flexible frameworks.

For healthcare companies — telehealth platforms, medspas, IV therapy clinics, and wellness centers — CPOM compliance typically requires establishing a Professional Corporation (PC) with a separate Management Services Organization (MSO).
