Career optionality isn't something you're given. You have to create it.

In this interview Dr. Robert McNeill discusses the mindset that enabled him to build an uncommon career spanning surgery, healthcare regulation, leadership, and legal education.

A must-watch for physicians looking beyond the traditional path.

Most physicians who find themselves in AKS trouble aren't criminal masterminds. They're busy professionals who signed an arrangement they never properly vetted.

Oregon passed the first-in-the-nation corporate-practice-of-medicine law in 2025. Washington, Vermont, Maine, and New Mexico introduced similar legislation this year. California adopted its own version of a similar law. And another federal legislative push, the Break Up Big Medicine Act, began its own run at the problem back in February.

Whether or not the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act clears committee, the direction is already set.

What all of these laws leave out is worth knowing before you assume you're covered.

Weak governance stalls decision‑making at the very moment healthcare demands faster, sharper choices. If the pace of change is accelerating, but your leadership structure isn’t, your group is already losing ground.

Every no-parking sign has an unwritten exception. Look at what's idling against the red curb every single day, engine running, and it's the ambulance, exempt by law, or the delivery truck, exempt in practice. That's not an oversight, that's the design, and it tells you something about who the sign was actually written to stop.

On September 16, a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators introduced the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act, aimed at private equity, insurance companies, and the “friendly physician” MSO structure. It calls for FTC enforcement, state AG enforcement, and private lawsuits with treble damages.

Before you assume this protects you, ask who's parked in the exempt spot.

A matchmaking broker offers Dr. Clear, a busy, legitimate dermatologist, $2,500 a month to be the named medical director for three weight-loss and aesthetics clinics she's never visited. She reviews no charts, trains no staff, and learns who supplies one clinic's botulinum toxin for the first time when a state investigator calls to ask about it.

Here's the part that should get your attention: this isn't a False Claims Act case that takes a U.S. Attorney's office years to build. It's a state medical or pharmacy board proceeding, and boards can suspend a license on an emergency basis while the investigation is still pending, well before anyone gets near a hearing on the merits.

The exposure isn't a subpoena someday. It's the ability to practice medicine at all, potentially within weeks. I walk through exactly how that happens in my newest post: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ghost-medical-directors-haunted-boards-mark-weiss-tubme

Hospitals pursued volume instead of value, and it’s costing them.
Meanwhile, tech is stripping away core hospital functions.
If the future is post‑hospital, what’s your strategy?

In May, Georgia's Composite Medical Board took direct aim at a specific arrangement: a physician contracted, in essence, to lend a required medical license to an advanced-practice-nurse-owned IV hydration business, without providing any genuine oversight of clinical affairs.

Georgia isn't alone and neither is the fact that it involved hydration as opposed to many clinic types. Legislatures in at least five other states have taken similar action in the last year and a half, and the pattern regulators keep finding has two names worth knowing: the “ghost,” a medical director in title only, and the “matchmaker,” a third-party broker who pairs physicians looking for supplemental income with clinics that need a licensed name on a filing.

If either of those sounds familiar, it's worth five minutes of your time. I lay out both arrangements, and why regulators are now treating them as targets, in my newest article.

Most physicians charged with healthcare fraud didn't wake up intending to break the law. They signed an agreement, trusted the explanation, and never looked closely enough at the risk. The DOJ doesn't have to prove that you knew the Anti-Kickback Statute existed.

That's the trap:.
