Any NP's with an S Corp - can we perform NP services if we incorporate as Nursing Corporation (not Medical)?

Published

I'm an NP that does house visits, and worked on 1099 in California, but with recent change in law, I will likely be converted to W2 by my agency and lose 1/2 of my income (I get paid per patient). Was thinking of incorporating as S corp, any NP's have incorporated? Are we still able to provide NP services (diagnose/treat) if we incorporate as S Corp? The vendor I'll be working for (NP house visit agency) already has a collaborating MD.

Any advice will be really appreciated, feeling a bit lost with this new CA law against 1099's ?

Consult an attorney, maybe even a nurse attorney. Look at the American Association of Nurse Attorneys for a listing of such attorneys in your area who are knowledgeable about NP practice issues in CA.

Right, it makes sense about the attorney, I'll do that, of course.

But my main idea was to hear from providers in similar situations.

Wish I could help, but CA has different laws. Over here, professionals cannot incorporate in the same way as other businesses but instead must form P.C.s which are different in many ways from the "Inc." companies. Hope somebody can help you.
