Planning a Medical Office Move

A multi-provider practice moves as a set of small practices sharing a front desk. Each physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant has a pod of exam rooms and a charting station, a medical assistant who knows where everything goes, and opinions about which room is theirs. The new suite may have more rooms, fewer rooms, or rooms split across two floors, so the room plan is decided before anyone packs.

We work from that plan. Every exam room on the new layout gets a suite and room number, and its exam table, stools, supply cabinet, and wall-side cart are tagged to match. Medical assistants pack their rooms' supplies into boxes marked with the same number. Check-in, the waiting room, and the nurses' station come back first, then each provider's pod. Clinical equipment like EKG carts and anything wall-mounted is checked by the practice's biomedical vendor, and vaccines follow the practice's own storage and transport plan. Paper charts, where a practice still has them, stay with staff. The wider split is on our healthcare moving page.

Who usually signs off
Practice administrator or operations manager, with each provider confirming room assignments and the practice directing chart handling
Timing that works
A Friday close and weekend move on request, set after the practice's credentialing team has updated payers with the new address and the vaccine plan is ready.

What typically moves

  • Exam tables with drawers and step stools Drawers emptied or taped, tables padded and tagged with suite and room number; power tables go after the vendor releases them.
  • Exam room supply cabinets and wall-side carts Supplies boxed by the medical assistant for that room and set in the same room at the new suite.
  • Nurses' station and provider charting stations Set early so the clinical team has a home base on the first day.
  • Check-in, check-out, and waiting room furniture First off the truck, so patients are greeted properly on reopening.
  • Provider offices and the practice manager's office Tagged by person and moved after clinical rooms are set.
  • Staff break room and lockers Emptied by staff and moved last.

Access and scheduling

Two things set the date before the building does: the credentialing team's updates to payers, since claims need the new service address, and the vaccine plan, since vaccines have to be stored and moved under the practice's own procedures. Once those are set, the usual pattern is a Friday-afternoon close, a Saturday crew on request, and patients again Monday.

Towers of medical suites near Longwood, in Brookline, and in Newton run the freight car and dock by reservation, and their managers hold a slot once our insurance paperwork is filed; we send it on request. A one-level practice in a Framingham plaza or a Milford strip may load straight through a rear door. Where the new suite is on a different floor from the old one in the same building, we still book elevator time for the move.

Protection and handling

Exam tables are heavy and their upholstery tears, so they travel wrapped and on dollies, and any drawer that does not lock is taped shut. Supply cabinets are emptied, because glass-front doors and loose shelves are what break. Walls and door frames in shared medical building corridors get pads, since other practices are open on the same floor.

Staff decide how paper charts move: sealed boxes carried by us to a named room, or carried by staff. Sharps containers and medical waste go out with the practice's waste hauler before the move, not in our truck. We wrap each charting station and front-desk screen, then cable it up again at its numbered spot, while the health record system, phones, and fax lines stay the job of whoever runs your IT and telephony.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

EKG carts, power exam tables, and wall-mounted diagnostic sets
The practice's biomedical or equipment vendor releases and checks them; we move units once released.
Vaccines and medications
The practice moves them under its own storage and transport procedures.
Sharps and medical waste
The practice's licensed medical waste hauler removes them before the move.
Payer and credentialing address updates
The practice's credentialing or billing team files them ahead of the move.

Not part of our work

  • Moving vaccines, medications, sharps, or medical waste.
  • Opening, sorting, or packing paper charts.

Around Boston and MetroWest

Around Boston, group practices fill medical buildings close to Longwood, in Brookline and Newton, and near community hospitals in Framingham, Norwood, Milford, and Quincy. Farther out, in Natick, Hopkinton, Bellingham, and Franklin, practices are more often in single-story buildings or plazas with their own entrance and parking.

Medical Office Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (774) 421-9389.

Our providers are getting different room counts in the new suite. How do we plan the exam rooms?

Settle the room plan first, before packing. List each old room, the provider or shared use, and the new suite and room number. We tag every exam table, cabinet, and cart to that list, and medical assistants mark supply boxes the same way. If a provider loses a room, decide where its furniture goes before the move.

How should vaccines be handled during a medical office move?

Under the practice's own vaccine storage and transport procedures, not by us. Many practices move vaccines separately with staff and portable storage units, or arrange for them to be held elsewhere. We schedule the refrigerator move after the vaccines are out, and the practice restarts and checks the refrigerator before restocking.

Which areas should be ready first when a multi-provider practice reopens?

Check-in, the waiting room, and the nurses' station, because every patient passes through them. After that, each provider's pod of exam rooms, then offices, the break room, and storage. Tell us which provider has the first appointments on Monday, and we set that pod right after the front of the office.

Can our paper charts travel on your truck?

If the practice chooses. Some practices have staff pack charts into sealed, labeled boxes that we carry unopened to a named room; others have staff carry them. Either way, the practice decides what is packed and who handles it. Many practices use the move to scan remaining paper records beforehand.
