Ownership & corporate practice of medicine in Alabama
⚠️ Alabama regulates the professional entity by registering it and by naming which entities may employ a delegate. The Board of Medical Examiners records and maintains a permanent file on all professional corporations incorporated by physicians and osteopaths. And to qualify for registration a physician assistant must be employed by a qualified physician, or by a partnership, medical professional corporation, medical professional association or physician practice foundation that also employs a qualified supervising physician, or by an entity the Board has approved. Ownership restrictions elsewhere in Alabama law were not surveyed here.

MedSpaRadar is regulatory monitoring and reference: it summarizes public laws, regulations and agency actions and links each to its source. It is not legal, medical, or compliance advice, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship. A summary can lag its source or leave out detail, and monitoring itself can be interrupted — so an absence of alerts means nothing reached you, not that nothing happened. Read the cited source, check its effective date, and confirm any change to your operations or clinical practice with qualified health-law counsel and your medical director.
