Primary and urgent care company Carbon Health Technologies will pay $4.4 million to settle allegations that it violated California’s ban on the corporate practice of medicine, engaged in false advertising, improperly billed patients and payers, and used illegitimate consumer contracts. The crux of the matter stems from Carbon Health’s “friendly professional corporation” structure, which enabled the company to act as a managed services organization with controlling rights that usurped those of physician owners. Carbon Health, which operates 80 clinics across eight states, recently emerged from bankruptcy.

Carbon Health co-founder and former CEO Eren Bali will pay $100,000 in separate settlement fees. He left the company in September 2024 and launched AI interface startup Monogram a year later.

When it comes to hiring, practices find themselves in a competitive market, up against hospitals for medical staff and restaurants, retail, and call centers for front-desk help. Just over a third of those surveyed are looking to automation investments to help their workforce work more efficiently and avoid burnout.
