In Louisiana, may a non-clinical owner or manager be paid a share of revenue?
Ownership · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — they only let the medical board discipline its own licensees for soliciting, accepting, or receiving value in return for and based on patient referrals; nothing addresses paying a non-clinical owner a revenue share.
Soliciting, accepting, or receiving anything of economic value in return for and based on the referral of patients to another person, firm, or corporation or in return for the prescription of medications or medical devices is a cause for which the board may refuse to issue, or may suspend or revoke any license or permit.

← All Louisiana rules and changes · 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.
