Book a Call See PricingProMed Preferred alternatives are vendors founders compare when they need a dedicated physician PC owner, MSO-PC formation, or PC administration. 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. Also see Permit Health alternatives and Guardian Medical Direction alternatives.
ProMed Preferred (promedpreferred.com) publicly markets a dedicated one-professional-entity-to-one-MSO model, physician owners licensed in the state of the professional entity, multi-state licensed physicians, and foreign (multi-state) PCs for eligible practices, plus admin such as banking, filings, credentialing, tax, and billing audits. It also states that two physician PC owners are provided for continuity. That is a dedicated-PC admin stack. Founders comparing ProMed Preferred alternatives should still separate “a physician who owns your PC” from “a foreign multi-state PC product.”
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.

|---|---|---|---|

Operator CPOM 50-state guide with official .gov cites and a CPOM 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, published $15,000 / $3,000/mo, and funds flow. |

How to choose a formation and PC-owner path
- 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 50-state licensed physician as owner of your PC is not a rented national shell. Foundry forms yours. Why not a Super PC.
- Map the footprint. Use the CPOM 50-state guide, then run CPOM compliance after papers. Newly added Limited / Moderate pages: Oklahoma, Alabama, and Arkansas. Also: FriendlyPCOwner alternatives.
- Published prices. Foundry publishes $15,000 formation and $3,000/mo matching. Confirm other vendors’ current pricing on their own sites.
