Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2004Dental Clinic questions.
1. Is is legal to open a dental clinic if we are not dentists in Texas? We have a business registered under corporation. 2. If we are going contract with some dentists full or part-time? What is the average split or we have to pay them a straight salary and what's the average salary? 3. Who should we contact regarding legal question? Thanks for your time! juliev01@hotmail.com Trying to get a bleaching business going?  Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.

Howard Farran (AZ) pays 25% commission but he pays the lab bill. Others pay say 33% but the dentist and IC independent contractor/employee split the lab bill. Rick Workman of Heartland fame pays 25%. He has 130 dental offices. If you are asking these questions, step one is a plan to figure out how to get patients, etc. That's the challenge, not the amount of the split. JOEL >3.

An attorney in the particular state that you are interested in, or the State Board of Dental Examiners of that particular state. >Thanks for your time! > >juliev01@hotmail.com -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com >>1.

In New York that's true. Its a good rule, but easily circumventable. Who "owns" anything is always fudgiee-e-e-e-e-e-e-e. Joel >>2.

I believe that you must have a licensed dentist on the board of directors if it's a corporation. > 2.

In Kansas, corporation or sole proprietorship, you must be a dentist. IIRC it is not easy to get around - no one has so far. >> 2.

I don't know - work on you business plan. Have a lot of investors commited? >> 3. Who should we contact regarding legal question? Just a shot in the dark, but perhaps an attorney that practices in Texas and is familiar with health and professional state regulation - but I'm just a dumb ortho. carabelli >> Thanks for your time! >> >> juliev01@hotmail.com > >> 1.

No, Macs are quite easy to get around, evidently, if you check their dwindling market share.... maybe they need marketing lessons from dentists or dental corporations pushing bleeching....

In KS (assuming you registered the corporation through Kansas) a C corp can be PC or PA. The corporate entity really doesn't matter with reference to a non-dentist owning a practice in my state. You can't do it today. carabelli > "Shyster" <shyster@lawyers.org> wrote.............. > >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > be PC or PA. The corporate entity really doesn't matter with reference to a > non-dentist owning a practice in my state. You can't do it today. A corporation is owned by the shareholders. Everyone else is an employee. If a person wanted to form a corporation,issue stock, and open a chain of clinics it wouldn't be reasonable for every board member to be a licensed dentist. Perhaps a board member might have to be a dentist in your state and of course there are laws where there must be a licensed dentist on the premises at the clinic. > carabelli |
