In Nebraska, 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 — the only fee-split ban covers fees divided for bringing or referring a consumer, and it excepts a partner or employee, a landlord paid rent on gross receipts, or a former partner. Ordinary revenue share is not addressed.
Unprofessional conduct includes division of fees, or agreeing to split or divide the fees, received for professional services with any person for bringing or referring a consumer, other than with a partner or employee of the credential holder, with a landlord under a written agreement providing for rent based on gross receipts, or with a former partner or employee under a retirement plan or separation agreement.

The rest of what Nebraska says on this
If any officer, shareholder, agent, or employee of a corporation organized under sections 21-2201 to 21-2222 who has been rendering professional service to the public becomes legally disqualified to render such professional service within this state, or accepts employment that places restrictions or limitations upon his continued rendering of such professional services, he shall sever all employment with, and financial interests in, such corporation forthwith. A corporation’s failure to require compliance with this provision shall constitute a ground for the forfeiture of its articles of incorporation and its dissolution.

← All Nebraska 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. 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.
