Oregon professional corporation rules (ORS 58.375 / 58.376) plus SB 951 make Oregon one of the strictest CPOM states in 2026. Form an honest MSO-PC — not a thin clone page or a shared plug-in PC.

ORS 58.375 and ORS 58.3762025–2026 CPOM tightening
Oregon SB 951 (signed June 2025)ORS 58.375 and ORS 58.376 set the professional-corporation baseline: medical professional corporations are owned and controlled by licensed professionals, not by lay corporations practicing medicine. SB 951 builds on that foundation with sharper limits on MSO insider ownership of a contracting professional medical entity and on which Stock Transfer Restriction Agreement (STRA) triggers are allowed.
Foundry PC is not a law firm. This page is a practical 2026 overview for founders, not legal advice. For research-tone detail see our Oregon SB 951 blog and Oregon CPOM laws guide.
What founders need to know in 2026
- Oregon is a strict CPOM state — clinical care belongs in a physician-owned professional entity
- SB 951 restricts MSO insiders from owning a majority of the PC that contracts with that MSO
- STRA triggers are narrowed (license loss, death/disability, federal exclusion, certain material breaches) — investor-exit style triggers are the risk area
- New vs existing MSOs face different compliance timelines; confirm dates with counsel for your facts
- Mental health / SUD facilities may have SB 951 exemptions — mixed platforms still need careful analysis
- A medical director title is not a substitute for PC ownership under ORS 58.375 / 58.376
How an MSO-PC works in Oregon
Match an Oregon-appropriate friendly PC owner, form the PC and MSO for Oregon (and any other states you actually need) via MSO-PC formation, and keep clinical control, protocols, and credentialing with the PC. Price the MSA at fair market value. Do not drop into a shared national “Super PC.”
Pricing stays simple: $15,000 formation (scoped states) and $3,000/mo PC owner matching. Multi-state footprints use a 50-state licensed physician match when needed — still not a plug-in PC network.
How Foundry PC helps Oregon startups
Foundry PC matches healthcare founders with a licensed physician PC owner and builds the MSO-PC documents with independent healthcare counsel. We scope Oregon honestly under ORS 58.375 / 58.376 and SB 951 themes — we do not publish 50 thin state clones or pretend one shared PC covers the map.
