Our Services
MDside provides the clinical and structural layer behind regulated health businesses: medical direction, licensed providers, good faith exams, PC-MSO structure, pharmacy and lab relationships, and the technology that documents all of it.
Technology Infrastructure: Secure, Scalable, and Fully Integrated
MDside’s telemedicine platform is built to support HIPAA-regulated workflows, with encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, audit logging, and Business Associate Agreements with our vendors, so patient data is handled to the standard your state and your payers expect.
Virtual Care Implementation: Synchronous and Asynchronous
MDside supports both real-time and asynchronous care. Patients complete a structured clinical intake; a licensed provider reviews it, documents a good faith exam, and approves, declines, or asks for more information. Video visits are used where the state or the drug class requires them — for controlled substances in particular, asynchronous approval is not an option, and the federal telemedicine exception has an expiry date. Every decision is made by a provider and recorded.
Physical Location Support: Bridging Virtual and In-Person Care
MDside connects virtual and in-person care. That includes ordering providers for in-house lab draws, protocols and standing orders for on-site services, equipment and workflow setup, and coordination between the treatment floor and the reviewing provider — so a patient who starts online can be seen, drawn or treated in your building without the record breaking in two.
PC-MSO Legal Framework: Built to the State, Not a Template
MDside forms and manages the professional entity, names the medical director, and writes the management agreement between the clinical side and your business. The structure is built to the state. Some states permit non-physician ownership outright; others require a physician-owned professional corporation with a management agreement alongside it; New York prohibits percentage-based management fees rather than merely discouraging them. We do not run one template in fifty states.
This is structure and staffing, not legal advice. We work alongside your counsel and give them something concrete to review.
Revenue: Adding a Clinical Service Line, Compliantly
Adding a clinical service is usually the highest-margin move an existing business can make — weight management in a gym, hormone therapy in a med spa, injectables alongside aesthetics, prescriptions alongside retail. MDside supplies the clinical side so you can price and market yours. Fees are fixed and set in advance, because several states prohibit paying a management company a percentage of clinical revenue.
FAQs: Everything You Need to Know
The questions we get asked before every engagement, answered plainly. Requirements differ by state and change often, so treat this as orientation rather than legal advice.
What does MDside actually provide?
A named medical director licensed in your state, a network of licensed physicians who perform good faith exams and issue orders, the professional entity and management agreement underneath them, and the platform that documents all of it. You keep your brand, your marketing and your customer relationship.
Does a med spa need a physician owner?
It depends entirely on the state. Florida does not broadly prohibit non-physician ownership. Texas, California, New York and Illinois take a much stricter view and generally require a physician-owned professional entity with a management agreement alongside it. Telling you which category you are in is the first thing we do.
How is the fee structured?
A fixed monthly fee, set in advance and in writing. Several states prohibit paying a management company a percentage of clinical revenue, and New York prohibits it outright, so we do not structure fees that way in any state.
How quickly can we start?
Weeks, not months, where the entity already exists and we are adding medical direction and provider coverage. Forming a new professional entity, or entering a state that licenses clinics — Florida’s AHCA process, for example — takes longer. We will give you the real timeline before you sign anything.
Can you cover states we are not in yet?
Yes. Provider coverage is expanded state by state as you grow. That is the main reason operators use a network rather than hiring one physician and hoping the footprint never changes.
Is this legal advice?
No. MDside builds and staffs the structure and keeps the documentation current; your attorney reviews it. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and the requirements move.
