Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get access to every lesson immediately?

Yes, of course! And we are always adding new content based on Member feedback or changes in the functional medicine industry or legal landscape.

Yes it will. Many of the educational lessons are applicable to every provider that is in this functional medicine space.

We will add specific lessons where the law varies depending on degree and publish that training based on member feedback.

Yes, I guarantee that you won’t find this kind of value anywhere else.

If you add it all up, you’ll agree: 52 hours of live attorney groups calls, 12 individual appointments, ongoing support, education, and more than 55 legal documents written and reviewed by real healthcare attorneys.

As for money-back guarantees, we can’t offer that at this time due to the unique nature of the service.

That is why we offer an affordable session with Scott Rattigan so you can get to know Scott and determine if the Membership is truly a fit for you and your needs. You can schedule that Free Discovery Call at any time.

No. If you choose monthly installments, you are agreeing to make 12 payments. The monthly installments are a payment plan for the vault of over 60 documents, educational videos and live calls over the 12 month period. So even if you don’t take advantage of the consulting offerings provided, you are still receiving the documents and educational videos as soon as you pay for the first month. Therefore, you cannot stop payment until the 12-month installment period is complete. This is a payment plan offered for your convenience, not a month-to-month membership service.

No.

Just as there are medical providers with a wide variety of specialties, there are different types of attorneys with different areas of focus as well.

The Practice Protection Program is an educational program designed to help you prevent lawsuits from happening in the first place.

But we can never eliminate all risk.

In that event of a lawsuit, you will want to work with a litigation attorney in your jurisdiction (most likely through your malpractice insurance) that has experience with that particular kind of suit.

In collaboration with your personal attorney, you can utilize the Practice Protection Program templates and education to minimize the risk of a lawsuit.

Yes.

We have Members from all over the country.

The legal concepts and education apply almost uniformly in every state. For the most part, a contract is a contract, a lease is a lease, and an LLC is an LLC.

Where state variations do exist, we will tell you. (And for telemedicine, we have a state-by-state breakdown of all the issues you will need to know.)

If you aren’t sure, ask us in the Weekly Office Hours with Scott.

We often research issues raised by our Members and create new resources (documents, education, and training) based on Member requests.

No. But we do make a payment plan available for those that prefer smaller payments over time.

You are receiving all of our documents and all the education in a single bundle as soon as you join, which is reflected in the initial investment, whether you choose to pay in one installment or 12 complete installments. (If you elect the installment plan, you agree to make 12 payments.)

The maintenance subscription for years two and beyond is for continued access to attorney calls, new trainings that are released, and new documents that are created and shared with current and active providers.

In other words, if you choose installment payments, you are agreeing to make 12 payments as part of a payment plan.

After that, you may choose to stay on for a smaller maintenance plan in either a single payment or on a monthly basis for access to new documents, attorney office hours, and support, as well as new education that is added to the Membership.

Yes, we have providers across the United States.  We can provide education and consultation on laws and customs in your state as it pertains to your practice.  However, there are some instances where your particular need or question would be best served by a local attorney in your state. This would include if you need legal representation for litigation or to represent you in front of the licensing board.

But keep in mind, the primary goal of Functional Lawyer is education to ensure you NEVER GET to the point where you need litigation or medical board representation. 

We recommend our clients have their specific needs and documents reviewed by an in-state medical attorney.  

Yes, you will have ample opportunity to ask and receive answers for your questions about legal (and business) concepts.

You have 52 weekly group Office Hours for live questions. You may also submit questions in advance to be answered live by Scott and available as a recording. And you can take advantage of previous questions of other members in the community.

However, joining the Membership does not create an attorney-client relationship. For more details, see the program terms and conditions.

No. In order to serve the most providers across the country with clear education and quality legal templates, Functional Lawyer made the decision to serve as an educational company. 

Functional Lawyer is not a law firm nor a substitute for an attorney or law firm.

The Membership can still save you thousands in legal fees, but we recommend having an attorney in your jurisdiction review your documents, compliance plan, and risk mitigation strategy.
