Ortho Florida

Ortho Florida is owned solely and equitably by its member physicians. Each solo or group practice whose physicians join Ortho Florida becomes its own Care Center under the “umbrella� of Ortho Florida. The design of Ortho Florida allows each Care Center to retain as much individuality and independence as legally possible while satisfying both the federal and state definitions of a group practice. In the eyes of the public, each Care Center can maintain the same identity they had as solo or group physician practices prior to joining Ortho Florida. The physicians at each Care Center can maintain the same employees, practice patterns, call coverage, and income distribution formulas, as long as the policies are compliant. Furthermore, the Ortho Florida practice model gives physicians the potential for more flexibility and mobility in regards to their practice setting. The control and governance of each Care Center is, for the most part, determined by the members of that Care Center.
