Hello!
My name is Attorney Damien Bosco. My law office is in Queens County, Long Island City, across from Manhattan. Depending on the matter, I handle matters throughout New York.
Thank you for asking your question.
New York regulations may require that certain types of medical screenings, even wellness-focused, involve oversight by a licensed physician, particularly if any diagnostic information is provided. It sounds like you already contract with physicians, which may fulfill this requirement, but you may want to ensure your physicians can supervise or interpret results if required by law.
New York's Department of Health (DOH) has oversight on any health screenings provided. This could involve the quality, safety, and privacy standards you implement. Since you're operating in a mobile capacity, you’ll also want to ensure compliance with DOH standards for mobile units, which often cover sanitation, equipment safety, and emergency protocols.
