Non-Physician how- to Management Services Organization (MSO’s)

 What is a Management Services Organization?

An MSO provides non-clinical services to medical practices, ambulatory care facilities or other healthcare providers. These services can vary, but in Texas and in other states they typically include:

• • Billing

• • AP- Accounts Receivable

• • EMR companies

• • Revenue Cycle management

• • Credentialing companies

• • IT Services

• • Non-clinical staff members

• • Human Resources

• • Rent

• • Equipment 

Why form a Management Services Organization?

An MSO is the only way to safely grant non-physicians/providers an opportunity to participate in a healthcare business that is governed by a statue or state licensure law.  Many of these state laws would otherwise ban non-clinicians or certain providers from owning a business. Further, MSO’s are state specific and the fees are determined by state statutes NOT just the agreements between the parties.
