Permit Health alternatives.
Foundry PC is the Permit Health alternative for founders who need scoped MSO-PC formation plus a matched friendly PC owner, not a plug-in Super PC.
Book a CallPermit Health alternatives are vendors founders compare when they need an MSO-PC, a friendly PC owner, medical direction, or a national PC network. Foundry PC is the alternative when you want your physician-owned Professional Corporation formed for the states you operate (MSO-PC formation, $15,000) and a named friendly PC owner ($3,000/mo). Foundry does not rent a Super PC. Side-by-side: Foundry vs Permit Health.
Permit Health (permithealth.com) is a well-known marketplace for MSO-PC setup, PC-owner matching, and collaborating physicians. Its public site also markets plugging clinicians into an existing 50-state friendly PC network. That plug-in product is a different model from scoped formation. Founders comparing Permit Health alternatives should separate those two offers.
The comparison is nominative and factual. Foundry publishes $15,000 formation and $3,000/mo matching. Confirm other vendors’ current pricing on their own sites. Dedicated Convert pages: FriendlyPCOwner alternatives, Guardian Medical Direction alternatives, and ProMed Preferred alternatives.
Permit Health alternatives: comparison set
Criteria: what the public site appears to sell, model type, and when Foundry is a better fit. Not a ranking of quality. Not an insult.
| Vendor | What they appear to sell (public) | Model type | When Foundry is a better fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foundry PC | Scoped MSO-PC formation + friendly / physician PC owner matching. CPOM 50-state guide and compliance checklist. | Your PC + MSO at FMV. 50-state licensed physician when needed, not a shared shell. | Default pick when diligence needs formation papers, a named owner, and funds flow. $15,000 / $3,000/mo. |
| Permit Health | MSO-PC formation with attorney partners; PC-owner matching; collaborating physicians; and plugging into an existing 50-state PC network (permithealth.com/infrastructure). | Marketplace + optional plug-in national PCs, plus a form-your-own path. | When you do not want a plug-in network. Foundry will not sell that product. See why not a Super PC. |
| Medical Director Co | Medical director and collaborating-physician placement for clinics, med spas, NPs, PAs, and RNs (medicaldirectorco.com). | Clinical oversight / collaboration matching. | When the job is PC ownership, not a medical-director title. A director is not a PC owner. |
| MedPath Compliance | Friendly PC owner physicians licensed across 50 states; CPOM / credentialing support (medpathcompliance.com). | PC-owner network + compliance services. | When you also need scoped entity formation and an operator CPOM 50-state guide, not only a physician roster. |

| Guardian Medical Direction | Medical director enablement: protocols, chart review, oversight infrastructure (guardianmedicaldirection.com / GuardianMD). | Medical direction platform. | When CPOM ownership is the gap. Direction and collaboration are different seats from the PC owner. |
| ProMed Preferred | Dedicated PC setup, physician PC owners, admin (banking, filings, credentialing). Public site also notes foreign / multi-state PCs for eligible practices (promedpreferred.com). | 1 PC : 1 MSO admin + ownership; some multi-state PC options. | When you want states scoped honestly without a foreign Super PC story. Foundry does not sell a Super PC. |
How to choose a Permit Health alternative
- Name the job. Medical director, collaborating physician, and PC owner are three roles. See physician PC owner.
- Ask whether you will own the PC. A plug-in 50-state network is someone else’s entity. Foundry forms yours. Why not a Super PC.
- Map the footprint. Use the CPOM 50-state guide, then run CPOM compliance after papers.
- Published prices. Foundry publishes $15,000 formation and $3,000/mo matching. Confirm other vendors’ current pricing on their own sites.
