| Clinical workforce | Recruiting, staffing, hiring, performance management, and clinician separation when needed. |

Timeline
The Cofounder pathway requires at least three months for adequate research, development, planning, configuration, recruiting, and implementation. The timeline can extend for as long as the MSO needs to prepare its business, although most partners are ready to launch in approximately three months.
Economics
Clinicians are always paid first, in accordance with the operating structure and applicable corporate practice of medicine requirements.
The MSO receives 40% of profit, paid out from the PC as a management fee for the full range of services the MSO provides to the PC — reflecting its higher level of responsibility and involvement.
There are no onboarding, implementation, startup, or technology fees. The MSO manages the nonclinical side of the venture and does not control clinical judgment, provider decisions, or the professional corporation's practice of medicine. Management fees are structured to comply with applicable state law and reflect the MSO's higher level of responsibility and involvement.
