The formation of a private medical practice, physician group, surgery center, hospital or other medical business or healthcare-related entity is a complex process governed by both corporate and health care law.

A medical business entity — whether it is solely owned or a joint venture — may also require licensing and regulation by the state, and certain types of legal entities may not be available.

California has a specific business entity for those who are licensed professionals such as doctors, dentists, ophthalmologists, healthcare professionals, lawyers, CPA’s, architects and engineers.  The entity is called a “Professional Corporation” or PC.

The formation of a Professional Corporation in San Diego or PC saves licensed professionals substantial sums of money. It provides specific operational advantages and the ability to deduct expenses in ways that are different from the traditional corporation or LLC, while providing additional and valuable protections from creditors for each unique shareholder.
