Each new state brings its own rules on ownership, licensing, and billing, and a structure that's allowed in one state can be prohibited in another. Craig Clesson is licensed in California, Illinois, and Tennessee, so one counsel can help with the move between any two of them.
One attorney licensed in all three states
Craig Clesson holds law licenses in California, Illinois, and Tennessee.
When your practice grows from one of those states into another, the same attorney can help with both sides of the move.
Who can own the practice in each state
Corporate practice of medicine rules decide who may own and control a medical, dental, or other healthcare practice. California, Illinois, and Tennessee each draw the line in a different place. This area of law continues to evolve, in the statutes and in how states enforce them.
We help review your ownership model against the second state's rules before the new location opens.

Contact us →Telehealth across state lines
Telehealth licensing turns on where the patient is located, and California, Illinois, and Tennessee each set their own requirements for clinicians who treat patients there. Some states take part in interstate licensure compacts and others do not.
We help plan licensure, consent, and prescribing before your virtual visits reach a patient in another of these three states.
Relocating a practice
A move between any two of California, Illinois, and Tennessee carries obligations in both states. When your company itself moves, depending on the state, we can help bring the entity under the new state's law and update its registrations there.
When you leave a group or sell your practice, each state sets its own rules for who the buyer can be, for notifying patients and keeping records, and those rules differ among California, Illinois, and Tennessee. We help plan patient notices and records custody before the move.
The order of operations
A new location in another of these states may need its own Medicare and payer enrollment.
Investor deals add their own clocks. Some states require notice to a state agency before certain private equity and management services deals close, and the timing differs by state as the laws and enforcement in this area evolve. We help count each clock back from your opening date and help file in that order.
