New Jersey Physician PC Owner & CPOM Guide
Match the practice form, licensed professionals, and clinical authority to Board requirements.
New Jersey’s Board of Medical Examiners permits several professional practice forms, each with conditions. A professional corporation is not the only option, and a medical-director appointment does not automatically authorize a general business corporation to provide care. Review the proposed entity and each professional’s license before recruiting a physician owner.

- The Board lists solo practice, partnerships, professional associations, limited liability companies, and specified employment relationships.

Which Practice Forms Does the Board Permit?
The Board’s orientation identifies multiple structures, including professional associations and LLCs. Its rules impose professional-eligibility and scope conditions. Avoid treating “PLLC” wording or a corporate suffix as evidence that a proposed ownership structure is permissible. NJ Board professional practice structureN.J.A.C. 13:35-6.16 (Board rules)
Can an Ordinary Corporation Hire the Physician?
Section 13:35-6.16(f)(4) limits general business corporation employment to listed settings, including certain licensed healthcare facilities. It requires a New Jersey-licensed medical director regularly on the premises with credentialing and medical-service responsibilities. Have counsel identify the applicable category and conditions rather than assuming any MSO can employ physicians. N.J.A.C. 13:35-6.16 (Board rules)Board adoption: corporate practice settings
What Must Remain With the Clinical Practice?
For the arrangement described in §13:35-6.16(f)(5), a general business corporation can supply nonprofessional services, while the licensed professional retains responsibilities for medical-care policies and patient-fee decisions. Have counsel assess the actual management agreement and clinical authority, not just the entity names. N.J.A.C. 13:35-6.16 (Board rules)
