SCM and SEL are often presented as the two main options for group practice.<\/p>\n
Isaure Bouvier<\/span><\/span><\/a>, partner in the Healthcare department, analyzes for Egora<\/a> the key differences between these two structures essential to understand, as they actually correspond to fundamentally different professional projects:<\/p>\n \u25aa\ufe0f SCM: pooling of resources<\/strong> \u25aa\ufe0f SEL: a collective practice model<\/strong> Key takeaway:<\/strong>
An SCM is a structure designed to share the resources and therefore the costs necessary for the professional activities of its members (premises, equipment, staff, etc.).
Each healthcare professional (physician) retains their own patient base, invoices and collects their own fees, and remains fully independent.<\/p>\n
Conversely, an SEL allows for the joint practice of medical activity: the patient base is shared among all partners, fees are invoiced and collected by the company, and the partners operate within a framework that harmonizes their practices and methods of working.<\/p>\n
It is essential to carefully consider your professional project, as well as that of your future partners, and to carry out both legal and financial analysis before committing to one structure or the other, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises in the medium or long term.<\/p>\n
