Some Jurisdictions Have Enacted Corporate Practice of Medicine Laws

Some jurisdictions have enacted corporate practice of medicine laws. One effect that corporate practice of medicine laws have had on HMO provider networks is that these laws typically

A) require incorporated HMOs to practice medicine through licensed employees
B) require HMOs to form exclusive contracts with physician groups who agree to dedicate all or most of their practices to HMO patients in return for a set payment or revenue-sharing
C) restrict the ability of staff model HMOs to hire physicians directly, unless the physicians own the HMO
D) encourage incorporated HMOs to obtain profits from their provisions of physician professional services
