Form your Occupational Therapy PLLC in New York — clinic, school & home-based ready

Yes. OT entities are reviewed by NYSED’s Office of the Professions (State Board for Occupational Therapy) before the Department of State accepts formation. We package your pre-approval — proposed name, scope/purpose, and ownership — to minimize objections and delays.

Ownership and professional control are generally limited to appropriately licensed professionals authorized to provide the PLLC’s services. For OT practices, that typically means licensed Occupational Therapists. We help structure members/managers to comply with New York rules.

Supervision and collaboration rules are separate from entity formation. Many OT practices employ or supervise OTAs and limited-permit holders under NYSED requirements. We align operating documents with your staffing model and recommend regulatory guidance for detailed supervision questions.

Many New York OTs serve clients via telepractice and in-home visits. Formation does not change licensure boundaries or payer rules — you must follow NY practice standards and platform/payer policies. We use purpose language appropriate for clinic, school, home-based, and virtual services within NY.

Names must be professional, include the required designator (e.g., “PLLC”), and avoid restricted or misleading terms (e.g., “clinic,” “center,” or claims outside OT scope) without additional approvals. See naming conventions for common pitfalls.

Yes. Many OTs contract with districts, early intervention programs, skilled nursing facilities, or home-care agencies. Contracting requirements are separate from formation. We deliver a bank-ready document set suitable for vendor enrollment and credentialing.

Yes. We coordinate county-designated publication, manage proofs and affidavits, and file the Certificate of Publication — fully included in the $885 flat fee.

You receive EIN confirmation, filed Articles of Organization, publication affidavits, and the Certificate of Publication — the standard bank-ready set requested by banks, credentialing teams, and landlords.

Often yes. Many practices expand to additional sites or operate mobile/home-based services. We structure formation to support growth and explain county publication implications if you add offices in other counties later.

Timelines vary. NYSED pre-approval can add weeks or months depending on review volume; publication then requires six consecutive weeks. We begin immediately, set realistic timelines, and keep you updated at each milestone.
