Licenses and permits for a physician practice

Q: I am opening a physician practice. Which licenses, permits and registrations may apply to me?

A: Let us walk through what your physician practice may need, piece by piece, so nothing surprises you on opening day. It also lists the personal license or trade license of the person doing the work, because a business license alone does not cover that.

1. Business license: A business license for a physician practice MAY ask about the exam rooms, the number of providers, your hours and whether lab tests or minor procedures are done on site.
2. Professional or trade license: Medical assistant certification: Assistants performing clinical tasks like injections or blood draws may need a personal certification or phlebotomy credential.
3. Medical license: Practicing medicine requires each physician to hold a personal license with training, exams and continuing education.
4. Clinical lab registration: Running tests on site may require a lab registration and quality checks.
5. Medical waste agreement: A contract with a service that safely removes needles and biohazards may be requested.
6. Patient privacy plan: A written plan for protecting patient records and electronic data may be asked for.
7. Employer registration: Hiring changes the list: an employer account, payroll tax setup and workers' compensation insurance MAY join the pile before the first paycheck.
8. Company papers: Depending on how you want to own and name the business, an LLC, a DBA or a tax ID number may come next; we prepare those too.

Need two licenses? Pay our service fee once. Order the business license and, if a home occupation permit or another license is also required, we obtain both under that single service fee. The govt's own annual tax and application fees are separate and are not included; finding and filling out the applications is what we do.

Why it is worth the paperwork

Running your own practice means you set the pace of care, and the calm of a clean exam room smelling faintly of soap is a good place to build trust.

Opening day, imagined

Dr. Priya ties a ribbon on the front door of Meadowlark Medical and welcomes her first patient.

What can go wrong

If a patient claims a mistake in care and sues, an LLC may not remove a physician's personal responsibility, but it may keep business debts away from your home.

The numbers behind it

Business code (NAICS): 621111. This page lists 8 paperwork items for a physician practice, and each one is marked as something you MAY need, since we confirm which apply.

Tip: Document every visit with clear notes and keep patient records locked and backed up.

Good to know: Practicing medicine is lawful only for licensed physicians, and clinics must follow strict privacy, safety and record keeping rules.

A physician's favorite phrase is it's probably nothing, followed by a long test.

Ready when you are: start your order and we will find out what applies to your physician practice, fill out the applications and keep the paperwork moving.

✔ Biz Structure

You can choose to be a(n) Physician Office :

Sole Proprietor,
LLC,
Corporation or
Partnership.
After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.

✔ Biz License

Abbeville Business Tax Registration ( Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.

✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) Physician Office business doing business under an assumed business name in Abbeville County i.e. you are a business that uses a DBA doing business as trade name to trade that is other than the full legal (first and last -- full name) name of a sole proprietor or a name other than the LLC or Corporation business name need a(n) assumed business name certificate. E.g. you venture into a(n) Physician Office business and you give it a trade name such as "Excellence Physician Office & Associates". You will need to register an assumed business name certificate.

✔ Seller Permit

In SC you need a resale ID ( AKA seller's permit) if you selling touchable items. (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN

Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

✔ State EIN

Also keep in mind that employers will need to obtain a federal EIN and a State EIN tax identificattion number. I.e., a SC Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) SC State Employer Tax Number

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Abbeville, Incorporate in SC or form a(n) SC LLC .

Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation. If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business name.
Using any language that connotes additional owners in the name of the business makes filing a fictitious business name mandatory.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Non Profit llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Physician Office business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Abbeville business name. In lieu of recording a Abbeville County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in SC or form an SC LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .
