Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions
What is a medical director, and does an RN-led clinic need one?
A medical director is a physician who provides clinical leadership for a clinic, including protocol review, quality assurance, and documented physician oversight. An RN-led clinic may need physician involvement depending on its treatments, staffing, operating model, and state requirements. A medical director appointment does not expand a registered nurse’s scope of practice or replace required patient evaluations, treatment orders, or delegation. GuardianMD helps clinics identify the physician support appropriate to their services and professional roles.
What is the difference between a medical director and a collaborating physician?
A medical director supports clinic-level clinical governance, protocols, and quality processes. A collaborating or supervising physician supports an individual nurse practitioner or physician assistant relationship where required by state law. A clinic may need both sets of responsibilities. The same qualified physician may serve both roles where permitted, with duties documented for each arrangement. GuardianMD supports both medical director and physician collaboration relationships based on the clinic’s state, services, and clinician roles.

How long does it take to find a medical director through GuardianMD?
GuardianMD typically matches eligible clinics with a medical director within seven days, depending on the state, specialty, and physician availability. Matching begins with a review of the clinic’s location, services, staffing, and physician-support needs. A physician match is one step in onboarding; applicable agreements, protocols, approvals, and other clinic requirements must also be completed before the affected clinical services begin.
Will my GuardianMD medical director be licensed in my state?
GuardianMD matches clinics with a medical director licensed in the state where the physician’s services are required. Physician eligibility also depends on the clinic’s services, staffing, and applicable role requirements. GuardianMD supports medical director relationships nationwide and reviews multi-state arrangements for each jurisdiction. One physician may support multiple clinics where state requirements and physician capacity permit; additional physicians may be needed as an organization expands.
What ongoing support does GuardianMD provide, and can I change my medical director?
After a medical director match, GuardianMD helps organize applicable agreements, protocols, chart-review workflows, and physician communication through its platform. DocTalk, GuardianMD’s secure communication hub, connects your clinic with your medical director and keeps clinical questions and physician guidance on the record. Available agreements, protocols, DocTalk communication records, and chart-review activity can support internal reviews, audits, or board inquiries.
If communication or workflow concerns arise, your needs change, or your physician becomes unavailable, GuardianMD can help coordinate a replacement medical director. Any replacement physician relationship, documentation, and approvals must be established before affected services continue. Cancellation rights, notice periods, fees, and transition responsibilities depend on your service agreement; legal advice and representation remain matters for the clinic’s counsel.
Does my medical director perform Good Faith Exams for my patients?
GuardianMD provides Good Faith Exams through its Telehealth Clearance Exam, performed by a licensed NP or PA rather than by your medical director personally. The provider operates within the same medical practice as your clinic’s designated medical director or collaborating physician, reviews medical history, identifies contraindications, and, when appropriate, issues treatment-specific prescriptive orders under physician-established protocols. Every GuardianMD clinic has access to GuardianMD Connect, the telemedicine platform used for these exams; each exam is billed separately. Unlike a standalone evaluation from an unaffiliated third-party provider, the exam is part of the physician oversight structure that supports your clinic and produces time-stamped, audit-ready documentation. “Good Faith Exam” is not a universally defined or board-recognized term, so requirements vary by state, specialty, and practice model.
What’s included with GuardianMD medical direction?
GuardianMD medical direction includes medical director matching, typically within seven days; the medical director’s malpractice insurance, paid by GuardianMD; DocTalk for documented physician communication; chart reviews; protocols and consent forms; MSO/PC contractual support; and access to GuardianMD Connect for clearance exams, with a separate fee per exam. There are no setup fees or patient limits. Pricing depends on your clinic’s state, services, and staffing, so contact GuardianMD for a quote.
