Start Your Own Nurse Practitioner Practice | Connecticut

You’ve spent years becoming the kind of nurse practitioner your patients trust.

What if you could build a practice around the way you actually want to care for them?

Kinstead helps experienced Nurse Practitioners across Connecticut start their own independent practices, with the support to make it actually doable.

This isn’t a traditional NP job. You’ll own your practice, choose the patients you want to serve, and decide what you want your schedule to look like. We’ll help you build the infrastructure around it.

Build a practice that works for you

For some NPs, that means having more time with each patient. For others, it means a schedule with more flexibility, taking home more of what they earn, or finally having something of their own.

And you don’t have to leave your current job to get started.

Many NPs begin with just a few hours a week while continuing to work elsewhere. You can grow from there at whatever pace makes sense for you.

Your practice might stay part-time. It might eventually replace your current job. The goal is to help you build something that fits the way you want to work and the community you want to serve.

We handle the parts you shouldn’t have to figure out alone

Starting a practice involves a lot more than taking care of patients. Kinstead helps with the business and operational work behind the scenes, 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 bring the clinical experience and knowledge of your community. We help you turn that into a practice.

Starting may be more achievable than you think

You don’t need a huge patient panel to get going. 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 40 Nurse Practitioners have already worked with Kinstead to start and grow practices of their own.

Who we’re looking 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 thought about starting your own practice, even if you haven’t been sure where to begin

• Want more ownership over how you care for patients and how you structure your work

You don’t need to have a business plan. You don’t need to know how credentialing or billing works. And you don’t need to be ready to leave your current job.

If you’ve been thinking about what it would be like to have a practice of your own, we’d love to talk and help you understand what it could look like.
