Healthcare M&A Regulations

Good afternoon. I have more than a passing interest in acquiring healthcare businesses, with a special interest in acquiring sleep clinics, although I’m also considering dental clinics, optometry clinics, and sports therapy clinics.

My main concern is the regulatory environment surrounding ownership of these businesses. I want to know if, as a non-medical professional, it’s even legal to acquire these businesses and employ medical professionals. Does anybody have a good resource to point to? Any advice for navigating this environment?

I would also look into management service organizations (MSO) this is a typical work around that supports the "back-office" functions of a healthcare business.

Most, if not all, states, require an applicable professional license in the healthcare industry. MSO as pointed out above is a way around.
My observation: Regulations come when demand for product/service is growing. More regulations make it harder for start-ups and small businesses. And they help larger businesses.
