@Iman Ch Welcome Iman! Heck ya a fellow reddit poster! I can't say no to beers if that happens! American IV is actually coming to Las Vegas for their next event! Let me look around about compliance and I will get back to you ASAP!

Hey @Daniela Davis welcome; looking forward to seeing what you can do in this group!

Short answer: yes, get a lawyer, but you can still do things on your own. IV therapy counts as practicing medicine in Virginia. Because IV treatments involve direct access to the bloodstream and medical-grade substances, it falls within the practice of medicine, making it one of the most tightly regulated services. The rules about who can own it, who runs it, and how drugs get handled are easy to get wrong. One bad move can cost you the whole business. Here are the big Virginia rules to know: Anyone can own it. Anyone can own a medical spa or IV hydration business in Virginia. You do not have to be a doctor or a nurse to own the company. That is the good news. But your medical director has to be a physician. In Virginia that means an MD or DO. Nurse practitioners do not have full practice authority in Virginia and cannot be a medical director, and a physician assistant may not serve as a medical director in Virginia either. This trips up a ton of new owners who line up an NP and think they are set. The medical director must be reachable. The medical director has to provide supervision and direction of the nursing services and be readily available to the nursing staff by phone or in person. Home visits add rules. Going to people's houses brings extra rules on how drugs get prescribed and dispensed. Virginia has been tightening this, so it is worth checking with the state and a lawyer before you launch mobile. Should you DIY the contracts and consent forms? No. Not the important ones. You can handle the simple stuff yourself, like setting up your LLC. But the medical director agreement, your patient consent forms, and your compliance setup are the parts that protect you when something goes wrong. A weak consent form is worthless the day you actually need it. Accurate documentation protects the clinic and its staff in the event of any legal disputes, and your medical director will not do all the heavy lifting for you. Pay a lawyer to build that base right. I hope to have a course on this soon!

@Jamie Coleman Yes, you've got it right. First, Utah doesn't really enforce that "only a doctor can own the medical side" rule. It isn't a strict corporate practice state. Second, as an FNP you have full independent practice in Utah. You can diagnose, order, and prescribe on your own, no supervising physician needed. That includes ordering the IVs. Put those together and here's the simple version. You can own the whole thing yourself and be the medical authority yourself. One company, your name on it, you're the provider ordering the drips.

You set up two companies. One is the doctor's. It holds the medical side, because Arkansas says only a physician can own the part that orders the IVs. That one has to be theirs. The other one is yours. It owns the actual business. The name, the van, the equipment, the supplies, the booking system, the marketing, the staff. Everything except the medical license. Your company runs everything for the doctor's company, and the doctor's company pays yours a monthly fee for it. That fee is set up so most of the profit lands in your company. So the money isn't stopping at the doctor. It passes through the medical side and comes to you. You're not the doctor's employee. It's the reverse. The doctor is basically hired to cover the medical piece, and you own the business and the money. That's the whole trick. You get paid by owning the company that runs the show, not by owning the medical license. The one thing to get right is that fee, so have an Arkansas healthcare lawyer set it up. That part is worth paying for.

Remember; you will have power of attorney on this account which means you can move money in and out on your own but it needs to happen this way.

Hey @Chris Sorour why do you need to redesign your website? Don't look at medical direction yet or hiring. The website needs to be fully functional first

@Chris Sorour Let me know if you need any help!
