Ownership & corporate practice of medicine in Kansas
⛔ KANSAS CONFINES A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION TO ONE TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. A professional corporation may be organized ONLY for the purpose of rendering one type of professional service and service ancillary to it, and shall not engage in any other business — except that the statute permits certain named combinations of the professional types it lists, identified by their item numbers in the definitions section. That definitions section enumerates the professions, including an osteopathic physician or surgeon, a physician, surgeon or doctor of medicine, and a registered professional nurse, each paragraph constituting one type. Separately, directly or indirectly giving or receiving any fee, commission, rebate or other compensation for professional services NOT ACTUALLY AND PERSONALLY RENDERED — other than through the legal functioning of lawful professional partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies or associations — is unprofessional conduct.
