Direction Sized to a Solo Clinic
A director whose stipend reflects the hours a single-provider practice actually needs, not a group rate.
Solo Provider Practices
Medical Director Services for Solo-Provider Practices
A single-provider clinic carries the full weight of direction, delegation and documentation — with nobody to hand it to. Membership takes the administrative half off your desk and leaves the clinical half where it belongs.
Where This Usually Starts
What We See in Solo Provider Practices
Solo practices are where compliance quietly slips, not through carelessness but through arithmetic: one person cannot treat all day and also maintain a protocol library, track licence expiries and reconcile three vendor accounts. The work does not shrink because the clinic is small.
What We Do FirstStep 01 Step 02 Step 03 Step 04 Step 05
The Order That Saves Rework
Protocols You Can Run Alone
Written so one person can follow them at the chair, without a second clinician to consult.
One Account, One History
Purchasing, prescribing and reorders in one place, so month-end is an export rather than an evening.
Coverage That Doesn't Depend on You Being Available 24/7
Named coverage for when you're out, sick or simply off the clock — documented in advance rather than improvised the day it's needed.
A Vendor Relationship Sized to Solo Volume
Pricing and ordering that reflect what one provider actually uses, not a volume tier built for a multi-injector clinic.

The MedGrid Standard
The Four R's of Medical Direction
How to find a medical director who actually holds up — for a med spa, a wellness clinic, or any practice in between — comes down to the same four checks every time.
Rights — An ownership structure that actually matches your state's CPOM posture.
Requirements — A director licensed in your state, with protocols written for your actual menu.
Review — A real, scheduled chart-review cadence — not a signature applied in arrears.
Reachability — Actually reachable when a treatment goes sideways, with an escalation route staff knows.

Where the Money Actually Goes
What This Covers
How money actually moves through a PC/MSO structure — patient revenue landing in the PC, the fixed management transfer to the MSO, MedGrid's retainer, and physician compensation — the same CPOM flow of funds covered on this page, walked through step by step.
This isn't just how we recommend running the accounts. In a state that enforces corporate practice of medicine, this exact flow is required to keep a PC structure compliant: revenue lands in the PC first, the MSO is paid a fixed, fair-market amount rather than a share of medical revenue, MedGrid is paid a fixed retainer by the MSO, and the accounts stay separate.
It's also why MedGrid only builds on a PC — never a PLLC — in every state we work in. A PLLC lets revenue flow straight into a member's account with no equivalent separation, which is exactly the structure this flow of funds is built to avoid. Why that distinction matters.
Where It Goes Wrong
Four Things Worth Checking Today
Being Your Own Director
If you hold the licence, you may still need delegation documents for anything staff perform, and the state may require a separate supervising physician for certain services.
Protocols That Live in Your Head
A board inquiry asks for the document, not the reasoning. Undocumented competence reads identically to no competence.
No Named Coverage for Time Off
A solo practice that never planned for the provider being unavailable has no answer when illness or leave actually happens. Coverage needs to be named and documented before it is needed, not improvised that week.
Letting Vendor Relationships Lapse
A single-provider clinic can fall out of a vendor's attention faster than a larger account — relationships and pricing need active management, not a one-time sign-up.
General information about how these arrangements are structured, not legal advice. Your medical director and your counsel confirm what applies to your clinic.
FAQ
Questions From Solo Provider Practices
Still not sure? Twenty minutes on the phone answers what a page can't.
Is Membership Worth It for One Provider?
That depends on your product spend and what your state requires. We tell you on the first call if the numbers do not work — including when they do not.
I Am a Physician. Do I Still Need a Director?
Often not for your own work, but you may still need delegation and standing orders for staff, and a supervising arrangement for specific services. We map that rather than assume it.
What Happens When I Take Leave?
Coverage is part of the arrangement. Your protocols name who may act and under whose direction while you are away.
What If I Want to Bring on a Second Provider Later?
The structure extends — protocols and vendor relationships scale to a second provider rather than needing to be rebuilt from solo-specific documents.
Do I Get the Same Vendor Pricing as a Larger Clinic?
Member pricing applies regardless of your volume — you are not penalized for being a single-provider account.
Build It Around What You Treat
Practice type sets the structure; modality sets the protocols. Most clinics need both.
