About Your Urgent Care Center
47. I am looking for some information on structuring the ownership of an urgent care center to permit not physician owners. Do you know where I can find this information? Thank you.
I am not a legal expert, but I have heard of urgent care centers setting up a physician practice management company to allow for non-physician partners. The regulations are quite complex and vary from state to state.You can read more about the concept of physician practice management companies at: http://bassberry.com
In order to do this correctly, you will want to consult with a lawyer with specific expertise in the area of physician practice management companies in the state in which you are considering opening an UCC.
Note: We have three physician partners, operating nine urgent care centers in Illinois. Our headquarters are in Rockford, Illinois. We would be delighted to host you and your partners for a full day tour of our facilities. We can share almost every aspect of what we have done to be more successful.
