FAQ

Common questions

Which states do you collaborate in?

Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, Alabama, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Texas, and Pennsylvania today. Additional Interstate Compact states — including Florida — can be added when a collaboration is agreed.

What types of practices do you work with?

Primary care, IV hydration and wellness clinics, med spas and aesthetics practices, hormone therapy and weight-management programs, addiction treatment, and telehealth practices working with NPs and PAs.

What does collaboration include?

A written agreement, defined availability for clinical consultation, protocol development, and the chart review, meetings, and quality assurance your state board requires. The exact scope is set together before signing.

How quickly can we start?

In a state where Dr. Murtuza is already licensed, onboarding can move as fast as credentialing and paperwork allow. New compact-state licenses typically take a few weeks.

What are your fees?

Fees depend on the number of clinicians, scope of services, and state requirements. They are discussed transparently on the intro call — no surprises later.
