Lay ownership of physical therapy and occupational therapy in Virginia
Does anybody have experience with or knowledge of PT / OT practices in Virginia? The broker on a deal we're chasing insists only licensed practitioners can own per VA state law. We believe lay ownership is permitted so long as the entity is a general corp or LLC (vs a professional one).
Does ownership by licensed practitioners appear to be law because it is required by the major payers in VA (e.g. BCBS, UHC Aetna, TRICARE, etc)?
Thank you!
