CMA Responds to CPTA POPTS Mandates

Well it appears that the California Medical Association (CMA) isn't going to just sit back and let the California Physical Therapy Association (CPTA) break up their POPTS clinics without a little more money and a some more legal fighting.  Imagine that!?  If I spent over $2.4 million dollars trying to get a piece of legislation passed (and lost), I think I might counter punch a few more times on principle alone.
The next round will more than likely happen in a court of law after the California Board gets sued for the first clinic they force to disband via their new interpretation of California business law: see brief description of the Moscone-Knox Act below: 

Moscone-Knox Professional Corporation Act is the general corporation law which govern the professional corporations of California. Certain professionals those who must be licensed by the State of California to carry on their professional trade may only incorporate their practice as a Professional Corporation. Such Corporations are governed by the Moscone-Knox Professional Corporations Act

 To see the details of the objections being put forth, please read the following letter which was sent by the California Medical Association's legal counsel to the CA PT Board:

So the PT Board has their legal argument and so does the California Medical Association.  Stay tuned to see who wins the next round.  In the meantime, the POPTS will continue to do business as usual.
