Yes. Beyond licensing, we connect clinics with licensed nurses, medical assistants, front-office staff, and other healthcare professionals so you can open fully staffed.
Timelines vary by license type and county. Business permits may take weeks; AHCA and CMS enrollments can take several months. We help you sequence applications to avoid delays.
Step 1 covers local business permits — Certificate of Use, sewer, DER (LBT), and county tax. Step 2 covers healthcare-specific licenses like AHCA, Medicare, Medicaid, CLIA, DEA, MPI, and NPI. You typically complete Step 1 before or in parallel with early Step 2 planning.
If your clinic performs laboratory testing on-site — even waived tests in some setups — you may need CLIA certification. We assess your services and advise whether CLIA applies.
