Ownership & corporate practice of medicine in Arizona

Unlike strict-CPOM states, Arizona’s Medical Practice Act regulates individual licensees rather than business ownership.

  • Arizona has no statute prohibiting non-physician ownership of a medical practice; the Medical Practice Act regulates individual licensees, and clinical decision-making must stay with licensees under the standard-of-care rules.

    A.R.S. §32-1401 · verified Jul 26, 2026

  • If a practice organizes as a professional corporation, non-licensed persons may hold up to 49% of the voting shares (unless the licensing authority prescribes a different percentage).

    A.R.S. §10-2220(A)(4) · verified Jul 26, 2026
