Physical Therapy PLLC FAQs

Practical answers for New York PTs — ownership, naming, direct access, mobile/home-based services, publishing, and banking.

Do Physical Therapists need NYSED pre-approval to form a PLLC?

Yes. Physical Therapy PLLCs generally require review by NYSED’s Office of the Professions (State Board for Physical Therapy) before the Department of State will accept the filing. We assemble a PT-specific pre-approval package — purpose language, name, and ownership — to minimize objections and delays.

Can a PT PLLC include non-PT owners or managers?

Ownership and professional control are generally limited to appropriately licensed professionals who can lawfully provide the PLLC’s services. For PT entities, that typically means licensed Physical Therapists. We help you structure members/managers to align with New York’s professional practice rules.

How should a PT PLLC handle direct access and referrals?

Entity formation does not change scope of practice or payer rules. Many NY practices operate with a mix of direct-access patients and referred patients. We craft purpose language that reflects Physical Therapy services while reminding owners to follow NYSED practice standards and payer policies.

What naming pitfalls should PTs avoid?

NYSED closely reviews terms such as “rehabilitation,” “clinic,” “wellness,” or “sports medicine.” Your name must be professional, include the required designator (e.g., PLLC), and avoid implying services outside PT without approvals. We provide compliant options that clear review faster.

Can a PT PLLC operate multiple or mobile/home-based locations?

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

Is the six-week newspaper publication included?

Yes. Publication in two county-designated newspapers is included in the $885 flat fee. We coordinate scheduling, manage affidavits, and file the Certificate of Publication on your behalf.

What do I receive for banking, landlords, and vendors?

You receive a bank-ready package: EIN confirmation, filed Articles, publication affidavits, and the Certificate of Publication. These are typically requested by banks, landlords, vendors, and credentialing teams.

How long does a PT PLLC typically take?

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

Can a PT PLLC employ PTAs or aides?

Employment is distinct from ownership. Many PT practices employ PTAs and support staff subject to supervision and other professional rules. We help align governance documents with your staffing model; for complex supervision questions, we recommend consulting legal or regulatory guidance.

Can I run a cash-based PT practice under a PLLC?

Yes. Many New York PT practices operate cash-based, credentialed, or hybrid models. Formation does not guarantee payer participation; it provides the compliant legal structure and documentation your bank and partners require.
