MFMD guide · Medical director governance

Can one Medical Director cover multiple clinics 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

For Florida AHCA-licensed Health Care Clinics, Rule 59A-33.013 limits the number and geographic spread of clinics one Medical or Clinic Director may supervise. Current AHCA survey enforcement describes a maximum of five clinics, a cumulative limit of 200 employees or persons under contract, and a 200-mile inter-clinic limit.

01

What are the AHCA limits on how many clinics one director may supervise?

As reflected in current AHCA survey materials: up to five licensed Health Care Clinics, no more than 200 combined employees/contracted persons, and no more than 200 miles between the clinics one director supervises.

02

Do the AHCA clinic limits apply to non-AHCA governance engagements?

Those Health Care Clinic limits should not be assumed to be the statutory cap for every non-AHCA physician-governance engagement. Outside the licensed-clinic framework, the practical limit depends on the services, risk, and how hands-on the oversight must be.

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.
