Common questions
What should a practice manager own?
Spell out who owns the budget, hiring, billing follow-up and compliance. In a small practice these roles overlap, and unclear ownership is the most common reason managers leave.

No. This page is general information. Requirements for some roles, especially in healthcare, vary by state. Check your state's rules, and talk to an employment attorney if you're unsure.
