Frequently Asked Questions.
My work includes Med Spa legal guidance, healthcare practice startups, regulatory forms and agreements, and appropriate DORA or licensing matters. Contact me with your profession and a short description of the issue so we can discuss whether I can help.
Yes. I help Colorado nurses and nurse practitioners assess legal questions about their proposed practice. The advice depends on the person’s credentials, services and practice model. Nursing complaint inquiries are considered separately, and some matters are referred to other counsel.
I can help assess the proposed model and the agreements it needs. Direct primary care, cash-pay services and healthcare memberships raise different questions, so the details of the arrangement matter.
We can discuss how your nutrition education, lifestyle or other coaching services relate to your professional responsibilities. Calling a service coaching does not, by itself, determine which requirements apply.
Yes. My virtual practice serves Colorado healthcare professionals and practice owners statewide.
