What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 C3 Wellness Spa Franchise Disclosure Document, the Practice, which appears to be the franchisee's entity, is responsible for the supervision of Non-Physician Medical Personnel. This supervision includes on-site supervision and the delegation of duties. These duties must be consistent with state and federal laws, regulations, certifications, and generally accepted community standards.
Non-Physician Medical Personnel are also subject to the reasonable instructions, directions, and policies of the Practice when performing their duties. The Practice reimburses the Manager for the time spent by these personnel while performing duties on behalf of the Practice, with the reimbursement rates agreed upon by both the Practice and the Manager.
To the extent required for the Practice to direct the duties of Non-Physician Medical Personnel, these personnel would be considered co-employed by the Practice. This arrangement ensures that while the Manager employs the personnel, the Practice retains control over their day-to-day activities and adherence to medical and ethical standards.
