Who is First Practice Launch for?

A licensed provider opening a first practice from zero, or one who has formed the entity but still needs the business, payer, EHR, portal, scheduling, and billing foundation.

What does the $6,000 include?

A 90-day guided build, payable over six months, covering entity and identifier coordination, commercial payer work, EHR and workflow setup, payer portals and payment enrollment, and the billing foundation described on the page.

When does work begin?

In-scope work begins within three business days after completed onboarding information and required documents are received. Payment alone does not start the clock, and payer timing or approval is not guaranteed.

Do I keep my systems and accounts?

Yes. The provider owns the entity, accounts, subscriptions, payer relationships, documents, and systems. AdvanceAPractice does not require a proprietary EHR.

What You Get

Five Parts Of Practice Setup, Managed Together

Business And Identifiers

Your attorney or formation service establishes the legal business. We reconcile the legal name, IRS record, IRS tax form, Type 1 and Type 2 NPIs, practice locations, licenses, and payer records before applications begin.

Commercial Payer Foundation

For up to five selected commercial payers, we prepare and manage the applicable application and contract path. Each payer keeps its own submission receipt, follow up, decision, effective date, directory, EFT, ERA, EDI, and first claim status.

EHR And Daily Workflows

We set up the EHR around how you actually practice, vendor-neutral, no referral fees, and no forced migration later.

Payer Portals, EFT, And ERA

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 and document intake, scheduling, fee, claim, payment, and closeout workflows. Readiness is shown by testing the workflow without a patient. The first real claim and remittance can be verified only after a billable visit.

Third-party costs, state filing fees, insurance, EHR subscriptions, domains, and vendor charges, remain yours and are paid directly to the vendor. You own every account, document, payer relationship, and system we help establish.

When Work Begins

In-Scope Work Begins Within Three Business Days After Your Reserved Start Month Begins And Onboarding Is Complete.

Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding U.S. federal holidays. Work begins when both conditions are met: the reserved start month has begun, and we have received complete onboarding information, required documents, and required access. The clock starts when we review those items and initiate the first documented in-scope project or payer task. Payment alone does not start the clock, and the commitment is not a promise of payer submission, response, effective date, approval, or project completion within three days.

Start reservedYour selected month is recorded with the order.Ready to beginThe month has begun and required onboarding is complete.Work startedThe first substantive task is recorded and confirmed.

Important Boundaries

What The Package Does Not Promise

The scope separates work we control from payer, legal, clinical, and client decisions. It also separates configured, submitted, effective, payment ready, and live verified states so progress is not overstated.

Payers control panel availability, processing time, effective dates, participation, and approval.
You complete and attest your own CAQH DataSpring 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.

Limits

What Your Practice Provides

For a licensed provider who is not already operating. If licensure is pending, the practice is already open, or the fit is uncertain, ask Practice Concierge first.

Add-Ons, Third-Party Costs, And Exclusions

Optional Additions

No optional add-on is required to receive the stated package outcome. Work beyond the published limits is priced separately in writing before it begins.

State filing fees, insurance, EHR subscriptions, domains, and vendor charges are not included in the $6,000 AdvanceAPractice service price. They are disclosed as part of the selected setup and paid directly by the customer to the third party.

Outside This Package

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.

Read the service terms

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

How The Work Moves

The Order A Launch Has To Follow

A practice launch is mostly sequence. Work done out of order usually has to be redone.

Practice Identifiers Come First

The legal business name, EIN, and organizational NPI have to exist and agree with each other before any payer will look at an application. You obtain the NPI through NPPES; we tell you exactly what it needs to say.

Payer Work Starts Once Identifiers Exist

Applications go out only after the identifiers, address, and malpractice coverage line up. Filing early to look fast produces rejections, not a head start.

Systems Get Configured Around Billing

The EHR, clearinghouse, and payment setup are built to match how claims will actually go out, including EFT and ERA enrollment as separate steps.

Readiness Is Tested Before Go Live

We validate eligibility, clearinghouse, claim, and remittance configuration without using a real patient claim. A payer response and remittance can be confirmed only after a billable visit.

First Practice Launch FAQ

Can I Do This Myself?

Yes. The value is sequencing, documented follow-up, and avoiding the common mismatch between business 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.

Before You Decide

What Practice Owners Ask Us First

Answered here so you do not have to email us to find out.

Do You Work With My Payers?

We support commercial enrollment work nationwide when the selected payer, product, practice type, and service location are eligible. Choose one to ten commercial payer paths, or choose government enrollment without a commercial package. We confirm each named path instead of assuming that one contract applies in every state or product.

First Practice Launch includes credentialing and contracting for five selected commercial payers for one provider. Additional payers and government enrollment are scoped separately in writing.
Government Enrollment: $500 for each Medicare, Medicaid, or separately administered Medicaid managed-care enrollment path.

Whether a panel is open is the payer decision, not ours. If one you selected is closed, we tell you and redirect the work.

How Long Does This Actually Take?

First two weeks. Applications, rosters, portal registrations and EFT/ERA setup are built and submitted.
60 to 120 days per commercial payer. This is payer review time, and no vendor controls it. We chase every file on a documented cadence and you can see the status the whole way.
On approval. You get the written effective date, confirmed portals, and payment routing, so you know the day you can bill.

We provide dates for work we control and document payer-dependent milestones separately.

What Will You Need From Me?

Most practices already have all of this. You upload each item once, in your secure workspace, never by email.

Government photo ID
Current professional license for each state you practice in
DEA certificate and state controlled substance registration, for prescribers
Board certification and degree
Malpractice face sheet or certificate of insurance
IRS EIN letter, the CP 575 or 147C
Bank-issued ACH instructions or another payer-accepted proof of the business account
Your practice Type 2 NPI

For a launch or practice and Tax ID transition, we prepare the organization W-9 from the legal name and Tax ID and return it for signature as one task inside that engagement.

Has This Worked For Practices Like Mine?

They clearly explained the confusing insurance billing process and helped me create a plan to expand my business.

John Benson, PMHNP-BCOwner, BBH Psychiatric Services

At one PMHNP practice practice, a contracted rate review found a payer discrepancy. Correcting it raised reimbursement 30% across four months of claims. Results vary by contract, payer, and claims.

Still deciding between two packages? Ask Practice Concierge or email hello@advanceapractice.com. We will tell you if a package does not fit before you spend anything.

We Stand Behind The Work

What Happens If We Do Not Deliver

Three commitments you are agreeing to at checkout, said plainly here instead of in the terms.

We Start On A Clock You Can See

In-scope work begins within three business days after your selected start month begins and we have complete onboarding and required access. We record Ready to begin and Work started timestamps and notify you when work starts, so the start date is a record rather than a promise.

We Fix Our Own Mistakes Free

If something we delivered does not work the way we said it would, we correct it at no charge for 30 days after delivery. You will not get an invoice for correcting our mistake.

If We Cannot Perform, You Get Your Money Back

We refund in full or in part where verifiable circumstances prevent the work: including serious illness, a licensure action that makes enrollment impossible, or our own inability to perform. We do not keep money for work we could not do.

What We Will Never Promise

We do not promise payer approval or payer timing because nobody controls those decisions. Commercial credentialing often takes 60 to 120 days, and a network can close while an application is pending.
