First Practice Launch
Build the Operating Foundation for Your First Independent Practice
We coordinate the practice setup, identifiers, payer path, EHR and portal decisions, scheduling, and billing foundation needed to move from licensed clinician to an operating practice. You retain ownership of every account, contract, and system.
Is This for Me?
A clear fit—and a clear boundary
This package fits when
- You are fully licensed.
- You are opening your first practice and are not already operating.
- You have nothing set up yet, or the entity exists but the operating foundation does not.
- You want the business, payer, technology, scheduling, and billing sequence built together.
Use another path when
- You are still awaiting licensure.
- Your practice is already operating.
- You are joining an existing clinic with executed payer contracts.
- You are leaving a group or platform with existing panels and a complex transition.
What You Get
Five connected workstreams, one accountable build
Business and identifiers
We stand up the entity, sequence your Type 1 and Type 2 NPIs, assemble the required business documents, and keep ownership in your name — the foundation everything else bills through.
Commercial payer foundation
We prepare, submit, and manage credentialing and contracting for up to five selected commercial payers in parallel — with the same documented, accountable follow-up we run on every credentialing job.
EHR and operating workflow
We set up the EHR around how you actually practice — vendor-neutral, no referral fees, and no forced migration later.
Payer portals and payments
We register you on the payer portals and set up EFT, ERA, clearinghouse, and enrollment access — the plumbing that gets you paid — with the access records kept in your name.
Scheduling and billing readiness
We build the intake, scheduling, fee, claim, payment, and closeout foundations so your first patient never arrives before the business is ready to bill for the visit.

Important Boundaries
What the package does not promise
- Payers control panel availability, processing time, effective dates, participation, and approval.
- You complete and attest your own CAQH/DataSpring Provider Data Portal profile; we never request your CAQH password.
- You sign payer documents and make clinical, legal, tax, and vendor decisions.
- Government payer enrollment, facilities, multiple entities, ownership changes, and work outside the written scope require a separate package, add-on, or Order Form.

Payment, refund, cancellation, renewal, and outcome terms
Payment
$6,000 total, paid once or in six $1,000 payments. The payment plan does not increase the total price and carries no financing charge. Cancellation and refund terms are disclosed in the service terms before purchase.
Refunds
The engagement is a fixed $6,000 commitment. Refund exceptions, if any, are stated in the service terms before purchase.
Cancellation
The six-payment option is not cancel-anytime; it is exactly six automatic $1,000 monthly payments.
Renewal
The installment plan ends after payment six and does not automatically renew.
When work starts
Payment reserves the selected start month and opens onboarding. In-scope work begins within three business days after both the reserved month has begun and complete onboarding information, required documents, and required access have been received.
Outcomes outside AdvanceAPractice’s control
Payer participation, decisions, effective dates, response times, reimbursement, and vendor actions remain outside AdvanceAPractice’s control.
If the work is larger: The published price includes the ordinary execution choices and follow-up needed for the stated result within these limits. A materially different result, provider, payer, location, system, workflow, or volume receives a separate fixed price or written scope before that work begins.
Common Questions
First Practice Launch FAQ
Can I do this myself?
Yes. The value is sequencing, documented follow-up, and avoiding the common mismatch between entity records, identifiers, payer applications, portals, and billing setup. The package is for a provider who would rather spend those months building the clinical practice.
Do I have to use a specific EHR?
No. We are EHR-agnostic and do not take vendor referral fees. You buy the subscription directly in your own name.
What if a payer takes months or says no?
Payers decide. We prepare, document, follow up, and escalate within the payer’s process, but no vendor can guarantee participation, timing, an effective date, or approval.
What happens after the 90-day build?
You retain the accounts, documents, systems, and status records. Ongoing billing or operations support is a separate engagement only if you choose it.
