Sacramento, CA specifics

What is different about filing in Sacramento, CA

California bans the corporate practice of medicine

California is a strict corporate-practice-of-medicine state: a general business corporation or a non-licensed owner cannot employ physicians or control clinical judgment. Most Sacramento medical startups are therefore built as a professional corporation owned by a licensed practitioner, paired with a management services organization for the non-clinical side. We build the entity pair and the management services agreement before licensing starts, because a structure fixed after the fact usually means refiling.

Medi-Cal enrollment runs through DHCS PAVE

Sacramento providers who want Medi-Cal volume enroll through the DHCS PAVE portal, separately from commercial credentialing and separately from the Medical Board license. PAVE applications are routinely returned for disclosure and ownership inconsistencies, so we reconcile the entity, NPI, CAQH, and PAVE records against each other before submission rather than after a denial.

Facility oversight is split between CDPH, HCAI, and the county

Depending on what you are opening, the reviewing body differs: CDPH licenses clinics and home-health agencies, HCAI reviews construction and seismic requirements for licensed facilities, and Sacramento County Environmental Health handles local permitting. We identify which of the three actually applies to your model at the outset so you are not paying for a review you never needed.

Sacramento, CA FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I own a Sacramento medical practice if I am not a physician?

Not directly. California's corporate-practice-of-medicine doctrine requires the professional corporation to be owned by a licensed practitioner. Non-licensed owners typically participate through a management services organization that handles the administrative side under a written management services agreement. We build that structure as part of the engagement.

How long does Medical Board of California licensing take?

A complete physician and surgeon application generally runs 60–120 days from the point the Medical Board has every source verification in hand. Training and out-of-state verification turnaround is normally the longest item, which is why we open those requests first rather than last.

Do you handle Medi-Cal as well as commercial payers?

Yes. Medi-Cal enrollment goes through the DHCS PAVE portal and is filed separately from CAQH and commercial credentialing. We run both tracks and keep the ownership and disclosure data identical across them.

What does a Sacramento engagement cost?

You receive written scope and flat pricing before any work begins — no hourly billing and no open-ended retainer. Intake, document upload, and payment are all remote.
