What we handle

Everything around the exam room

01

Practice management

Day-to-day operations, scheduling systems, vendor coordination, and performance reporting — structured as management services, with clinical decisions staying with your physicians.

02

Clinical & administrative staffing

Credentialed nurses, MAs, front-desk teams, and schedulers — recruited, screened, and placed to match your specialty's pace.

03

Ambulatory infusion suite management

Turnkey setup and operation of an in-office infusion suite — nursing, drug procurement, scheduling, and billing — so patients receive complex therapies where they already trust their care.

04

Specialty pharmacy & medication management

Coordinated pharmacy support so your practice can bill pharmacy benefits alongside medical benefits, with consistent medication management for complex patients.

05

Prior authorization, REMS & benefits

We handle payor benefit verification, prior authorizations, and REMS certification requirements that slow down complex-therapy patients.

06

Revenue cycle & patient assistance

Coding, claims, and denial follow-up billed on a flat fee — plus enrollment in patient financial assistance programs to keep therapies accessible.

4

Ongoing reporting and reviews keep the practice improving quarter over quarter.

Built for Florida regulations

Structured to respect how Florida law works.

Management and staffing companies serving physician practices operate within a specific regulatory framework. We build every engagement around it — clinical authority stays with your licensed physicians, and our fees are structured to keep the relationship clean.

Corporate practice of medicine Fla. law

We provide management and staffing services only. Medical judgment, diagnosis, and treatment remain fully under the control of your licensed physicians and physician-owned entity.

Fee-splitting & Patient Brokering Act §817.505

Our services are billed on flat or fair-market fixed fees — never a percentage of collections or per-patient payments — consistent with Florida's fee-splitting and patient-brokering prohibitions.

HIPAA & data handling BAA

We operate under Business Associate Agreements with appropriate safeguards for protected health information across every system we touch.

Anti-kickback & Stark Federal

Drug procurement, infusion, and pharmacy arrangements are structured for fair-market value and to respect federal Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark Law limits on referrals and remuneration.

Pharmacy & infusion licensure Board of Pharmacy

Infusion suite operations and any specialty pharmacy services are delivered under the appropriate Florida Board of Pharmacy and AHCA licensure, with staff verified before placement.
