How Misclassifying Employees Can Harm Your Health Care Practice

Running a medical practice today means navigating complex operational, business, and legal challenges. In this season opener, hosts Brad and Michael share the story of a California physician who thought firing a toxic practice manager at his longevity clinic would be simple—until it was not. What began as a routine staffing decision quickly uncovered employees misclassified as independent contractors, blurred ownership language, and personal relationships complicating business operations. Learn the small missteps, like misclassifying employees or casually using the term “partner”, that can lead to serious legal and financial consequences, and what you can do to prevent them.
