Legal Must-Haves for Launching a Perinatal Telehealth Practice in Texas
Telehealth isn’t the future of perinatal care—it’s already here. From virtual prenatal visits to postpartum check-ins, Texas nurse practitioners are transforming care delivery. But while the platforms are user-friendly, the legal terrain is anything but. Whether you’re a solo NP or scaling a virtual group, you still need a properly formed PLLC, a compliant delegation agreement, HIPAA-secure systems, and a rock-solid Telehealth policy. Texas law has strict rules around consent, prescribing, and documentation—and even one misstep can put your license at risk. We help perinatal providers launch legally sound Telehealth practices that are audit-ready and built to scale.
What the Heck Is CPOM and Why Should You Care If You’re a Nurse Practitioner in Texas?
Let’s talk about something most nurse practitioners don’t hear about until it’s too late: the Corporate Practice of Medicine, or CPOM. It sounds like a technicality—but in Texas, it can determine whether your clinic thrives or gets shut down before it starts. Think of CPOM as a legal tripwire: invisible until you’ve already triggered it. If you're co-founding a practice, billing insurance, or offering services that stretch beyond your NP license, you need to understand how Texas law limits who can own and control a medical business. The fix? A carefully structured MSO/PLLC setup that keeps your practice compliant and scalable. Before you file your LLC or sign that lease, let’s make sure your business isn’t built on legal quicksand.
Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs): Succession Planning Tool
Implementing an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) can serve as a strategic succession planning tool, enabling business owners to transition ownership to their employees. This approach not only preserves the company's legacy and values but also enhances employee engagement and retention. EOTs offer potential tax advantages and facilitate a smoother transfer of ownership compared to traditional methods. However, establishing an EOT requires careful consideration of the company's financial health, employee readiness, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. By thoughtfully implementing an EOT, business owners can ensure the continued success and stability of their enterprise while rewarding the employees who have contributed to its growth.
