Practice start-up


Start your therapy practice — credentialed and ready to bill.

Opening a practice? We handle the back-office launch — entity and NPI setup, CAQH, your first insurance panels, and billing — so you open your doors ready to see insured clients and get paid.

The basics

How do you start a therapy practice that can bill insurance?

You need the business set up (entity, EIN, NPI), a CAQH profile, credentialing with the payers you want, and a billing process — done in the right order. Start credentialing too late and you'll open without being able to bill insurance. We sequence and handle all of it so nothing blocks your first paid session.

What's included

Everything between "I'm opening" and "I'm billing."

  • Entity, EIN, and NPI setup guidance
  • CAQH profile creation and attestation
  • First insurance panels — commercial, Medicare, Medicaid
  • Billing and revenue cycle stood up and ready
  • A compliance starter (HIPAA/OSHA) so you open audit-ready

How it works

How does it work?

01

Plan

Your timeline, disciplines, and target payers.

02

Build

Entity and NPI, CAQH, and documents.

03

Credential

Submit your first panels early — months ahead of opening.

04

Launch

Billing live, compliant, and ready for insured clients on day one.

Start early: a brand-new practice should plan 3–6 months to be fully in-network — credentialing (60–120 days per payer) plus payer contracting (another 45–90 days). Begin well before you open so you're not seeing clients you can't yet bill.

Questions

Common questions

How early should I start credentialing?

Ideally 90–120 days before opening — payers are slow, and you want to bill from day one.

Can I bill insurance the day I open?

Yes, if credentialing was started early enough. That's exactly why we sequence it up front.

What disciplines do you launch?

PT, OT, speech, and mental and behavioral health practices.

Do you handle the business setup or just credentialing?

We can take the back office end to end — entity and NPI through billing — or just the credentialing piece.

What does it cost?

Priced by scope — what you need us to handle. There's no per-session cut.
