The hardest part of launching a telehealth brand is doing it legally. We handle all of it — so you never have to become an expert in healthcare law.
In most states, a non-physician cannot own a medical practice or directly employ doctors. This is known as the Corporate Practice of Medicine doctrine, and it exists to keep clinical decisions in the hands of licensed clinicians — not business owners or investors.
The industry solves this with a two-entity structure, often called the "friendly-PC" model:
You run a business. The medical group runs the medicine. Neither side crosses into the other's lane — and that is exactly what keeps the whole thing legal.
Any time a brand touches protected health information, HIPAA applies. We build that protection into the platform from day one rather than bolting it on later:
LegitScript is the certification that the major ad and payment platforms rely on to confirm a healthcare advertiser is legitimate. Without it, you cannot reliably run ads on Google, Meta, or TikTok, and many payment processors will not approve a telehealth merchant account.
We file and manage LegitScript certification for each brand's domain. The review typically takes about three to eight weeks. Until it clears, brands grow through organic channels — content, SEO, social, email, and referrals — so momentum starts well before the paid channels open up.
Healthcare advertising is held to a higher standard than most categories, and both the FTC and FDA have stepped up enforcement against telehealth and cash-pay wellness brands. We review ad claims before they go live so that:
Recent enforcement actions have made this non-negotiable — getting the claims right is part of staying in business, not just staying out of trouble.
We keep brands focused on well-established cash-pay categories that a certified pharmacy can compliantly fill, including:
Just as importantly, we keep brands off anything that isn't compliant. If a category or product can't be supported cleanly, we won't build a business around it.
A provider can only treat a patient in a state where that provider holds a license. Our medical group works with providers licensed across all 50 states, and the platform handles the routing automatically — a patient is matched to a provider licensed in the patient's own state, every time.
No. You own the management and marketing company (the MSO). The licensed physicians in the medical group handle every clinical decision and prescription. You never practice medicine.
The physician-owned medical group, and specifically the prescribing provider, is responsible for every prescription and clinical decision. That responsibility sits entirely with the licensed clinician — never with you or your brand.
Yes. The MSO + physician-owned PC ("friendly-PC") model is the industry standard. It is the same fundamental structure used by the well-known national telehealth companies.
Paid advertising opens up after your brand's LegitScript certification clears, which typically takes about three to eight weeks. In the meantime, brands grow through organic channels.
