What business structure does a med spa need in New Mexico?
Ownership · part of The Practice Perimeter
The Medical Practice Act, Sections 61-6-1 through 61-6-35 NMSA 1978, was surveyed in full as published by the New Mexico Medical Board. It contains no corporate-practice-of-medicine provision: no requirement that a practice be organized as a professional corporation, and no restriction on who may own an interest in one. The terms "corporation", "shareholder", "partnership" and "limited liability" do not occur in the Act. Its restrictions attach to the practice of medicine and to licensee conduct rather than to business ownership.
