Fast physician matching in New York
GuardianMD makes it easier to secure the physician collaboration your practice needs. New York NPs with 3,600 or fewer qualifying practice hours generally need a written practice agreement and written protocols with a physician qualified in their specialty. Whether you are opening a practice, replacing a collaborator, or expanding your services, GuardianMD can match you with an appropriate physician and help structure the relationship around your experience, specialty, and applicable New York requirements.
Getting started in New York
Everything your New York practice needs to get started
GuardianMD provides more than a physician introduction. We match you with a vetted, specialty-aligned physician licensed in New York, typically within seven days or less. Your plan also includes the physician’s fees and malpractice insurance, with no setup fees or patient limits.
GuardianMD helps establish the foundation for an organized collaborative relationship, including:
- A New York-specific written practice agreement
- Written practice protocols aligned with your specialty
- Quarterly patient-record review workflows
- Centralized compliance and oversight documentation
- Ongoing regulatory monitoring and support
GuardianMD’s platform keeps your agreements, protocols, chart reviews, and physician communication organized in one place, helping you manage your collaboration as your practice grows.

- IV hydration and wellness

Specialty alignment matters in New York. When a written practice agreement is required, the collaborating physician must be qualified to practice in the NP’s specialty area.

Common questions
Collaboration in New York
What happens if New York requirements change?
GuardianMD monitors regulatory developments affecting physician collaboration, written practice agreements, protocols, and medical oversight in New York. If a change affects your practice, GuardianMD notifies you and helps update your agreement, protocols, documentation, or platform workflows. The team can also help reassess your collaboration needs when you complete more than 3,600 hours of qualifying NP experience.
What’s included in GuardianMD’s ongoing compliance support?
Ongoing support includes regulatory monitoring, agreement and protocol updates, physician credential and malpractice coverage tracking, chart-review workflows, documentation standards, renewal support, and access to GuardianMD’s compliance and clinical teams. GuardianMD’s platform keeps these oversight activities organized so you and your physician can manage the relationship in one place.
Does GuardianMD provide documentation for audits or compliance checks?
Yes. GuardianMD’s platform helps organize your written practice agreement, protocols, physician credentials, malpractice coverage, chart-review records, and other collaboration documentation. New York requires applicable agreements and protocols to be maintained at the practice setting and available for inspection. If your practice receives an inquiry or documentation request, GuardianMD can help retrieve and organize the records maintained through the platform.
Can GuardianMD also help me find a medical director or assist with MSO setup?
Yes. GuardianMD can match your practice with a New York-licensed medical director and help establish a physician-owned professional entity and MSO structure when appropriate. Because New York strictly limits non-physician control over medical practices, the clinical entity must retain authority over patient care and medical decisions. GuardianMD supports the physician relationship, compliance framework, and ongoing oversight, while individualized legal documents should be reviewed by a qualified New York healthcare attorney.
How are chart reviews and ongoing communication handled?
GuardianMD’s HIPAA-compliant platform centralizes chart-review workflows, physician communication, reminders, and oversight documentation. For New York NPs who require a written practice agreement, patient records must be reviewed by the collaborating physician at least every three months. New York does not mandate a specific number of charts, so the NP and physician determine an appropriate sample based on experience, patient population, and practice setting. GuardianMD helps document completed reviews and keeps consultation, referral, and coverage procedures organized.
What makes GuardianMD different from other compliance providers?
GuardianMD provides more than physician matchmaking. New York practices receive a vetted, specialty-aligned physician plus the infrastructure needed to manage the relationship. GuardianMD’s HIPAA-compliant platform centralizes written practice agreements, protocols, patient-record reviews, physician communication, credential tracking, malpractice coverage, and audit documentation. A dedicated compliance and clinical team also monitors changing New York requirements and helps update your oversight structure as your practice grows.
