Can an APRN Own an HRT or TRT Clinic in Florida?

The right answer depends on the facility’s actual structure, regulatory status, services, payer model, and licensed team. This guide organizes the facts that should be resolved before a decision is made.

Direct answer

Potentially, but “APRN-owned” does not answer every compliance question. Florida’s Health Care Clinic Act includes practitioner-owned exclusions under specific conditions, and APRNs may practice under different statutory models (§464.012 or §464.0123). For TRT, controlled-substance authority and DEA registration also matter.

01

Can an APRN owner prescribe controlled substances such as testosterone?

Florida §464.012 permits qualifying APRNs to prescribe controlled substances within the applicable statutory framework and imposes additional controlled-substance requirements. The clinic should confirm which APRN practice model applies and that DEA registration is in place.

Owner takeaway

Make sure the ownership model, APRN practice model, prescribing authority, and actual clinic operations all match. Confirm the exemption with your AHCA consultant or counsel.

How to use this guide

Separate the public question from the facility decision.

First confirm the facility type, AHCA or exemption status, payer model, licensed roster, and services. Then check the current official source and document who evaluates, prescribes, orders, administers, supervises, and escalates an exception.

MFMD can structure facility governance and present the proposed services and responsibilities to a physician. Clinical authority and acceptance remain with the reviewing physician.
