      Barbara Phillips, NP, a practice owner who operates a network for NP entrepreneurs, notes that many variables can influence take-home pay for business owners: “Is the income gross or net?” she asks. “What type of practice do they have and in what area of the country? Are they still paying off start-up costs and perhaps leases on expensive equipment? Are they in a state that allows direct reimbursement, or are they a cash practice? How many patients or clients are they seeing on a daily basis? Have they been marketing effectively, and have they set up their infrastructure to be able to manage a growing business?”
  • Support and Knowledge

    I have spent the morning printing off the downloads from your wonderful site. Bless you for bringing this site to us all...for putting all the effort into helping NP's carry out their vision, instead of just dreaming about it.
    Take care, and thank you so much again for creating a place of support and knowledge. I love the NP interviews and often jot down notes as I listen!

  • Opened 2 years ahead of plan…

    On March 17, 2009 I will open my door as a private practice psychiatric office. I am starting part time to see how it goes, but I have been doing some market analysis and it looks good.
    Thank you for your service to all NPs. I could not have done this without talking to you or using your website. Thank you, thank you...
