Ownership & corporate practice of medicine in Indiana
Indiana is comparatively permissive and does not impose a strict corporate-practice-of-medicine ban.
An employment or other contractual relationship between an entity and a licensed physician is not the unlawful practice of medicine, as long as the entity does not direct or control the physician’s independent medical acts, decisions, or judgment. So a non-physician-owned entity may employ physicians without controlling their clinical judgment.
