All The Tools You Need To Build A Compliant Medical Business

Dr. Sam Zand is a psychiatrist, public health graduate of Johns Hopkins University, and founder of Anywhere Clinic, Calm Clinic, and co-founder of Better U. He developed this DEA compliance training not as a theorist, but as a clinician who lived through the very audit most providers fear.

After undergoing a DEA audit at one of his Spravato clinics, Dr. Zand was told he could have faced license revocation, $25,000-per-violation fines, or even criminal charges. The DEA agents admitted what many providers already feel:

“Doctors are simply not trained in medical law. The rules are too complex. We often just recommend not dispensing controlled substances at all.”

And they were right. Despite working with multiple legal teams and compliance experts, his clinic still had gaps. The truth is, FDA REMS requirements don’t fulfill DEA criteria, and DEA regulations don’t always align with pharmacy board rules. The overlapping and conflicting expectations across agencies like the DEA, FDA, CMS, and medical and pharmacy boards make compliance nearly impossible to navigate alone.

Dr. Zand has spent countless hours consulting with attorneys, policy experts, and regulatory boards in over 30 states, where Anywhere Clinic is licensed. From controlled substance law and marketing regulations to standard of care and ethical oversight, he’s had firsthand conversations with nearly every governing body a clinic might face.

And here’s what he’s learned:

100% of doctors we've spoken to are out of compliance—and they don’t know it.

This is not a time to guess or hope for the best. In this post-COVID era, federal agencies are cracking down harder than ever. Every week, providers are receiving letters, facing license suspensions, or being charged criminally for documentation oversights and unintentional violations.

Dr. Zand’s mission is clear:

To give doctors and clinics the tools they need to care for patients—without fear.
To help you protect your license, your practice, and your peace of mind.

You don’t need to become a legal expert to stay compliant, but you do need a system built by someone who’s been through it and knows what it takes to protect you.
