$15,000 formation · $3,000/mo PC owner

Start with a free callWhat is MSO-PC formation?
MSO-PC formation is standing up a physician-owned Professional Corporation plus a Management Services Organization for the states you operate, tied by a fair-market-value MSA. Foundry charges $15,000 one-time. After papers, run CPOM compliance and open the CPOM 50-state guide. A friendly PC owner is $3,000 per month when you need the ownership role.
How do I set up an MSO and friendly PC for my telehealth company?
- Map patient states. CPOM follows where patients sit. Open each state on the CPOM 50-state guide.
- Match the physician owner if needed. A friendly PC owner (physician owner of your professional corporation) is $3,000/mo.
- Form the PC and the MSO. Physician-owned Professional Corporation for clinical care; Management Services Organization for non-clinical ops, scoped to your footprint.
- Sign the document suite. Typical set: PC/PLLC articles, MSO formation papers, fair-market-value MSA, stock-transfer restrictions, succession terms, and bank resolutions. Counsel customizes; Foundry is not a law firm.
- Run the operating test. After papers, use CPOM compliance for funds flow and control.
Typical timeline is 1 to 3 days after states, clinical model, and physician match are scoped. New York can take longer for education-department review.
How much does it cost to set up an MSO and friendly PC?
$15,000 one-time for MSO-PC formation, plus $3,000/mo for a friendly PC owner (physician owner of your professional corporation) when you need that role, plus state filing fees at cost. Confirm other vendors’ pricing on their own sites. See published cards below.
Structure & setup guide
Need the entity map, funds flow, and document suite before you buy? The MSO-PC structure and setup guide is the resource page for how to form an MSO-PC (PC vs MSO, MSA, stock restrictions, and a 1-3 day timeline). MSO-PC formation is the $15,000 service for the states you operate.
What you get
An MSO-PC is two entities. The Professional Corporation is physician-owned and delivers care. The Management Services Organization runs the business. A fair-market-value management services agreement ties them together.
- PC and MSO formation scoped to the states you are actually launching
- Management services agreement, transfer restrictions, and succession terms
- Optional friendly PC owner matching
- Collaborating physician or medical director if your clinicians need one
We do not drop you into a pre-built professional corporation for all 50 states. We form the structure for the states you need.
What MSO-PC formation actually files
MSO-PC formation is the $15,000 service. To form an MSO-PC you still need a physician-owned PC, an MSO, and an FMV MSA, not a medical-director contract on a lay LLC. Who holds what:
| Artifact | Who holds it | On the materials vs the setup guide |
|---|---|---|
| PC / PLLC articles | Licensed physician owner | Included in $15,000 formation. Sequence: setup guide |
| MSO LLC or C-corp | Founders / investors | Cap table lives here, not in the PC |
| MSA at fair market value | PC ↔ MSO | Counsel customizes. Foundry is not a law firm. |
| Friendly PC owner | Licensed MD/DO | $3,000/mo matching when you need the ownership role |
If you only hire a medical director, you have not completed MSO-PC formation. Start the sequence on the homepage or the MSO-PC formation setup guide. Who files what still follows the patient’s state: a Connecticut professional corporation under Chapter 594a, a Missouri professional corporation under Chapter 356 when multi-state diligence wants one, then the same FMV MSA. Map the footprint on the CPOM 50-state guide and run CPOM compliance after papers.
MSO-PC formation vs DIY vs Super PC
Founders searching MSO-PC formation are choosing a path. These are the three we see on calls:
| Path | What you get | What fails |
|---|---|---|
| DIY articles | Founder-filed PC or LLC; no priced MSA; often no physician owner | Buyer / payer CPOM compliance check |
| Super PC / national PC | Rented shared shell marketed as 50-state coverage | Honesty test on the CPOM 50-state guide. See why not a Super PC. Compare: Foundry vs Permit Health, best MSO-PC formation |
| Foundry MSO-PC formation | Your physician-owned PC + MSO at FMV, scoped states, counsel sign-off. $15,000 one-time | Does not fail the ownership test when papers and funds flow match |
