Kinstead helps experienced Nurse Practitioners across Massachusetts launch independent practices of their own, with the guidance and support to make getting started feel manageable.
This isn’t a traditional NP job. You’ll own your practice, choose the patients you want to serve, and have more control over your schedule. We’ll help put the infrastructure in place so you can focus on what you do best: caring for patients.
Maybe you want longer appointments and more meaningful time with patients. Maybe you're looking for a more flexible schedule, greater earning potential, or the opportunity to finally build something of your own.
And you don't have to leave your current job to make it happen.
Many NPs start with just a few hours a week while continuing to work elsewhere. From there, you can expand your practice at whatever pace feels right for you.
Your practice could stay part-time or eventually become your full-time career. The goal is to create something that aligns with your professional goals, your lifestyle, and the community you want to serve.
Opening your own practice comes with responsibilities beyond patient care. Kinstead helps manage the business and operational side, 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 your clinical experience and understanding of your community. We help you turn that into a practice of your own.
You don't need a large patient panel from 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–$200 per clinical hour, with the potential to earn around $300,000 annually in a full-time practice.
More than 50 Nurse Practitioners have already partnered with Kinstead to start and grow independent practices of their own.
This could be a good fit if you:
Are an experienced FNP, PMHNP, or other Nurse Practitioner
Hold an active Massachusetts NP license and meet the state’s requirements for independent practice
Have several years of experience caring for patients
Have strong connections to the community you hope to serve
Have considered opening your own practice, even if you're not sure where to begin
Want more control over how you care for patients and how you structure your work
You don't need to come in with a business plan. You don't need to understand the ins and outs of credentialing or billing. And you don't need to be ready to leave your current job.
If owning your own practice has been on your mind, we'd love to connect and help you explore what getting started with Kinstead could look like for you.
