What is the "corporate practice of medicine"?
The corporate practice of medicine is a legal doctrine, which generally prohibits corporations, entities or individuals (i.e. non-physicians) from practicing medicine.
A general summary of the corporate practice of medicine doctrine is that it prohibits physicians from entering into partnerships, employee relationships, fee splitting, or other situations with non-physicians where the physician's practice of medicine is in any way controlled or directed by, or fees shared with a non-physician. Generally, physicians may enter into independent contractor arrangements with non-physicians. However, whether an independent contractor situation exists is a question of law and attendant facts.
Section 165.156 of the Medical Practice Act makes it unlawful for any individual, partnership, trust, association or corporation by use of any letters, words, or terms, as an affix on stationery or advertisements or in any other manner, to indicate the individual, partnership, trust, association or corporation is entitled to practice medicine if the individual or entity is not licensed to do so.
Section 164.052(a)(13) of the Medical Practice Act authorizes disciplinary action against any licensee for impersonation of a licensed practitioner or permitting another to use his license to practice medicine. Section 164.052(a)(17) authorizes disciplinary action against a practitioner for aiding or abetting, directly or indirectly, the practice of medicine by non-licensed individuals or entities.
Beginning in 2011, the Texas Legislature enacted laws authorizing certain types of hospitals and specific hospital districts to directly hire physicians.
Because of the highly technical aspects of this doctrine, a physician should consult with private counsel regarding any actual or contemplated arrangement. Please be advised that the Board staff is not authorized to provide private legal advice.
The following case law/legal authority may be helpful in the analysis and are available from any local law library or private counsel:

“... ry order limiting your practice to administrative medicine may be offered. ”
I haven't been practicing medicine for a while. Is that a problem?
Maybe. In order to be eligible for physician licensure in Texas you must prove that you have actively diagnosed or treated patients, or been on the active teaching faculty of a Texas medical school on a full time basis for either of the two years preceding the date of your application. The Board defines "full time" to be at least 20 hours per week for 40 weeks duration during a given year. If you don't meet that requirement the Executive Director may determine that certain conditions must be met before licensure can be granted. Alternatively, licensure under a non-disciplinary order limiting your practice to administrative medicine may be offered.
“... older is restricted to the supervised practice of medicine that is part of and approved by the training program. The permit does not allow for the practice of medicine that is outside of the approved program. ”
Can I moonlight with a PIT permit?
No, a physician-in-training permit holder is restricted to the supervised practice of medicine that is part of and approved by the training program. The permit does not allow for the practice of medicine that is outside of the approved program.
“A Family Medicine resident could reasonably be approved by his or her program director to internally moonlight with a PIT permit in the ER, maternity ward, or ambulatory clinic. An Internal Medicine resident could reasonably be approved by his or her program director to internally moonlight in the E ... ”
What are some examples of acceptable internal moonlighting under a PIT permit for training areas related to the specialty?
A Family Medicine resident could reasonably be approved by his or her program director to internally moonlight with a PIT permit in the ER, maternity ward, or ambulatory clinic. An Internal Medicine resident could reasonably be approved by his or her program director to internally moonlight in the ER, ICU, or on the Critical Care service. However, a Family Medicine or Internal Medicine resident should not internally moonlight with a PIT permit on the Surgery service as it is not related to the specialty.
“... only be concerned with the supervised practice of medicine under a PIT permit. ”
Does conference attendance or observation count as internal moonlighting under a PIT permit?
Not for our purposes. TMB will only be concerned with the supervised practice of medicine under a PIT permit.
“... s well as report CME. The physician's practice of medicine must not include the provision of medical services for either direct or indirect compensation which has monetary value of any kind and the physician's practice is limited to voluntary charity care to indigent populations and receives no dire ... ”
Is there an exemption for retired physicians providing voluntary charity care?
Yes. A retired physician whose only clinical practice is the provision of voluntary charity care to indigent populations shall be exempt from the registration fee but must register the license as well as report CME. The physician's practice of medicine must not include the provision of medical services for either direct or indirect compensation which has monetary value of any kind and the physician's practice is limited to voluntary charity care to indigent populations and receives no direct or indirect compensation of any kind for medical services rendered. Also, the physician's practice cannot include the provision of medical services to family members or the self-prescribing of controlled substances or dangerous drugs. A physician who violates the provisions of this exemption may be subject to disciplinary action. Action may be based on unprofessional or dishonorable conduct likely to deceive, defraud, or injure the public if the physician engages in the compensated practice of medicine, provides medical services to members of the physician's family, or self-prescribes controlled substances or dangerous drugs. Additionally, a physician who attempts to obtain this exemption by submitting false or misleading statements shall be subject to disciplinary action pursuant to the Medical Practice Act, in addition to any civil or criminal actions provided for by the state or federal law.
“... this status is not an active license to practice medicine in Texas. However, a licensee with this status has maintained their registration requirements while the license is suspended, and should that suspension be lifted, the license can return to an active status without additional registration re ... ”
This physician’s profile shows “Suspended, Active”. How can a license be suspended and active at the same time?
The registration status “Suspended, Active” is a suspended status. A license in this status is not an active license to practice medicine in Texas. However, a licensee with this status has maintained their registration requirements while the license is suspended, and should that suspension be lifted, the license can return to an active status without additional registration requirements.
“... an would be liable for the unlicensed practice of medicine. ”
Are CRNA’s authorized to practice independent of physician supervision and delegation?
No, neither the Medical Practice Act nor the Nursing Practice Act authorize independent practice by a CRNA. Additionally, Texas Attorney General Opinion No. KP-0266 found “A certified registered nurse anesthetist does not possess independent authority to administer anesthesia without delegation by a physician.” (Page 5). Since the selection and administration of anesthesia is a medical act, CRNAs must be properly delegated this act by a physician. A CRNA who administers anesthesia without proper delegation from a physician would be liable for the unlicensed practice of medicine.
