Healthcare Business - Unpacked

Building your Practice the Right Way — What the Regulations Actually Require

In this first episode, healthcare attorneys Cesar Lopez and Cindy Peters break down what CPOM actually is, why Texas enforces it so strictly, and what happens when you get it wrong. Spoiler: it's not always obvious you got it wrong until an audit, a complaint, or a board investigation shows up at your door. They walk through real examples — from med spas and wellness clinics to franchise agreements signed without reading page 30 — and explain the right way to structure a healthcare business so a non-physician and a physician can actually work together legally. That means understanding PLLCs, MSOs, management service agreements, delegation agreements, and why all of it matters more than most people realize. If you've already opened a practice, this episode is worth a listen. If you're about to — it might be the most important 50 minutes you spend before you do.
