Michael H. Cohen: Unlicensed Medical Practice

Hello. I’m Michael H. Cohen, principal of the Michael H. Cohen Law Group in Beverly Hills, California.

If you violate the corporate practice of medicine rule, you could be at risk of unlicensed medical practice, which is considered a crime. If you violate the anti-kickback and fee splitting laws, that’s also considered criminal activity, potentially under federal as well as state law. If you don’t get the right professional corporation, your corporation could be invalid, and there could be a host of other consequences.

Therefore, it’s extremely important to get careful business legal advice whenever you structure a medical spa or any kind of multidisciplinary healthcare entity that brings these three very different, yet interconnected, legal rules into play.

My legal team has over 76 years of combined experience in many different areas of law.
