About this role
You’ve built a career caring for patients. What if you could build a practice around how you want to care for them?
Kinstead helps experienced Nurse Practitioners across Connecticut open independent practices of their own, without having to figure out every part of starting a business by themselves.
This isn’t a traditional NP job. You’ll own your practice, choose who you want to serve, and decide how you want your workweek to look. Kinstead helps put the infrastructure in place to make it possible.
Create a practice that fits your life
Maybe you want longer visits and more time with patients. Maybe you want greater flexibility in your schedule, more control over what you earn, or the chance to finally build something of your own.
You also don’t have to make a huge career change overnight.
Many NPs get started with just a few hours a week while keeping their current role. From there, you can grow your practice at the pace that feels right for you.
It can stay a part-time practice, or grow into your full-time work. What matters is building something that works for you and the community you want to care for.
Focus on your patients. We’ll help with what happens behind the scenes.
There’s a lot that goes into running a practice beyond providing great care. Kinstead supports you with the business and operational pieces, including:
-
Insurance credentialing and payer contracting
-
Billing, coding, and revenue cycle management
-
EHR and technology
-
Scheduling and patient intake
-
A virtual front desk with real humans answering patient calls
-
Business setup, legal, and compliance support
-
Website and marketing support
-
Tools and support to help you grow your patient panel
You know how to care for patients and understand the needs of your community. We help you build the practice around that.
It may take less to get started than you think
You don’t need hundreds of patients on day one. Most practices can cover their basic costs with fewer than 3 patient visits per month, and startup costs are typically less than $3,000.
As your practice grows, NPs typically take home around $100–$150 per clinical hour, with the potential to earn around $250,000 annually in a full-time practice.
More than 50 Nurse Practitioners have already worked with Kinstead to launch and grow practices of their own.
Who this is for
This could be a good fit if you:
-
Are an experienced FNP, PMHNP, or other Nurse Practitioner
-
Hold an active Connecticut NP license and meet the state’s requirements for independent practice
-
Have several years of experience caring for patients
-
Have strong ties to the community you hope to serve
-
Have considered starting your own practice, even if you’re not sure what the first step looks like
-
Want more control over how you practice, who you care for, and how you structure your time
You don’t need to come to us with a business plan. You don’t need to understand credentialing, billing, or practice operations. And you definitely don’t need to quit your current job to explore the idea.
If having a practice of your own has been in the back of your mind, we’d love to talk. We can walk you through what getting started could actually look like for you.
