Frequently Asked Questions

SubMed is a marketplace built specifically for healthcare professionals to sublet medical office space. Practices with unused exam rooms, offices, or procedure space list them on SubMed, and clinicians looking for flexible space browse and contact them directly. SubMed was founded by a physician and practice owner.

Nothing. SubMed is free to browse and free to list. There are no listing fees, no subscriptions, and no commission on your sublease. If we ever introduce paid features, we'll give advance notice before any charge applies.

Listings are currently available in Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Phoenix, and the San Francisco Bay Area. More cities are coming soon. Let us know which city you'd like to see next.

Any user can submit their name and 10-digit National Provider Identifier (NPI). Our team checks it against the federal NPPES registry, usually within one business day. Verified professionals get a verified badge on their profile and on every listing they publish. Get verified.

No. SubMed connects providers and renters, but any sublease or other arrangement is directly between the two of you. SubMed doesn't own, manage, or inspect listed spaces, and doesn't process payments. Both parties are responsible for vetting each other and signing a written sublease agreement before exchanging keys or money.

No. Please never include patient data, protected health information (PHI), or photos of identifiable patients anywhere on SubMed.

Browse listings and narrow them down by city, neighborhood, specialty, amenities (like procedure rooms, exam tables, or on-site reception), price, and availability date. You can also show only listings from NPI-verified providers.

No. Anyone can browse listings. You'll need a free account to message a provider or bookmark listings.

Open a listing and click "Contact Provider" to send a message. It starts a conversation in your SubMed inbox, and the provider is notified by email. Replies show up in your inbox, and you'll get an email when they arrive.

To protect providers' privacy, the map on each listing shows only the approximate area. Message the provider to get the exact address and arrange a tour.

It depends on the listing. Providers offer daily, monthly, yearly, or flexible arrangements, and many add a price note such as "per day" or "utilities included." Some listings are marked as negotiable, and you can always discuss terms with the provider directly.

Look for the verified badge, which means we've checked the provider's NPI against the national registry. Always tour the space, confirm the provider has the right to sublet it (including any landlord permission), and put your arrangement in a written agreement.

Yes. Sign in and bookmark any listing. Your saved listings are in My Bookmarks.

Our guide to medical office subletting agreements covers key terms, insurance, and compliance. It's a starting point, not legal advice, so have an attorney review your agreement.

Any real medical or professional healthcare space: a single exam room, a private office, a procedure room, part-time days in your clinic, or an entire suite. Many practices earn $2,000+ per month from space that would otherwise sit empty.

Try our free space appraisal tool for an estimate based on your space. You can set a minimum and an optional maximum price, add a note like "per day" or "per month," and mark the price as negotiable.

Click Post Listing and follow the steps: location, neighborhood, practice type, details (title, description, pricing, availability, and amenities), photos, and a final preview before you publish. Your progress is saved as a draft, so you can finish later from My Listings.

No. Your street address is used only to place your listing on the map, and it's never shown publicly. The map shows the general area, and you decide when to share the exact address with interested renters.

Photos aren't required to publish, but we strongly recommend them. Listings with photos get much more interest, and only listings with photos are eligible to be featured on the SubMed homepage.

When you list on SubMed, you confirm you have the right to sublet or share the space. That includes any permissions your lease requires from your landlord, lender, or building. Check your lease before listing.

Messages arrive in your SubMed inbox, and we email you each time a new one comes in. Reply right from your inbox to keep the whole conversation in one place.

Yes. Edit your listing any time from My Listings. If your space is no longer available, archive the listing to hide it from the marketplace. You can restore it later without starting over.

Yes. Three months after a listing is published, you can republish it from My Listings. That resets its date so it appears near the top of the newest listings again.

Verified providers get a badge on every listing, appear when renters filter for verified listings, and are given priority for homepage features. It takes a minute to submit your NPI.
