The Watkins Firm has served medical practices and the healthcare industry here in California for over three decades. We are a strong legal partner for those who wish to start a new medical practice or get an existing healthcare business off the ground.
The formation of a new medical practice or healthcare entity is legally quite complex. What is the best entity when starting a new ophthalmology practice or business in San Diego or Southern California? The California Professional Corporation provides multiple advantages to ophthalmologists and licensed California ophthalmic professionals.
The California Professional Corporation protects each practitioner from exposure to any legal or financial liability as a result of negligence or malpractice by any other licensed practitioner in the firm. In addition, additional tax deductions for items such as dependent care, health care, life insurance and even disability as well as increased contribution thresholds for retirement provide genuine advantages over traditional corporate entities.
One must consider the extensive governance and regulatory compliance issues associated with your practice as well as extensive code requirements of the California Corporation Code as well as regulations of the California State Board of Optometry.
Is your new practice going to include any of the following professionals?
- Neuro Ophthalmologists
- Pediatric Ophthalmologists
- Oculoplastic Surgeons
- Orthoptists
- Optometrists
- Ophthalmic Technicians or Assistants
Starting a new ophthalmology practice or business in San Diego requires comprehensive employment contracts, policies and procedures, employee handbooks and administrative practices.
