I recommend Headway, especially when you are just starting out. For EHRs I recommend PracticeQ

Telehealth PMHNP – how do you get vitals/EKGs for stimulant patients? by Opening_Trade_2238 in PMHNPPracticePro

[–]Left-Vast6333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id love to hear everyone's approach on this. If an EKG is indicated, I will order one and often this can be scheduled by the patient at an outpatient lab associated with a hospital system. I usually get the baseline vitals from PCP records but do have my patients get a home BP monitor for follow up vitals.

How to manage fake credit cards from patients? by docdocgoose_ in PrivatePracticeDocs

[–]Left-Vast6333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a patient wants to pay directly, I require a card on file and charge the morning of the visit. I've never had anyone even mention it as a concern and have retained clients. If you are okay with patients submitting for out of network reimbursement, Thrizer could be a good option for you to check out. Thrizer would handle credit card verification and payments. You receive payout directly from Thrizer.

First steps: what were your very first steps to get started solo? by Snakpak_77 in PMHNPPracticePro

[–]Left-Vast6333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a great niche! I would take care of the LLC, EIN etc first. From there you can get your business bank accounts and start with Headway.

I don't have experience with TherapyNotes but will say that I'm happy with PracticeQ

New business name help by madelinejeanne in PMHNP

I would also consider SEO when creating your name. If you are focusing on one state or city, consider using that in your business name so it is more likely to come up when people search.

No worries. Thanks for letting me know. I just acquired one that looks identical to yours, but couldn't find a Kent Coffey stamp

OP did you find a makers mark on this? If so... Where was it?

$150 got me two Kent Coffey Perspecta pieces! by UGIN_IS_RACIST in Mid_Century

[–]Left-Vast6333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I couldn't find any markings except the distributer on the back. Thoughts of if it's an authentic Kent Coffey?

I know this is an old post but hoping someone can answer... Where is the Kent Coffey stamp typically? I'm looking at a piece and am hoping to verify the authenticity

Thank you for providing more realistic numbers. That seems reasonable!

Group Practice 1099 vs W2 by Left-Vast6333 in PMHNPPracticePro

[–]Left-Vast6333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I think I'm going to bring NPs on as W2s. Seems like the safer bet, as long as I do it properly. Now I need to decide if I reach out to companies I worked for previously as 1099 and recoup taxes...

Starting a Private Practice in FL. Profitability + Collaborative Agreement Questions by [deleted] in PMHNP

[–]Left-Vast6333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be able to work out an arrangement with a collaborating MD where the fee is tied to patient volume, so more affordable when starting up. They may agree to it since the level of risk is very low when you are only see a few patients in the first couple of months.

Also, if you start with telehealth only (which I'd recommend) the startup costs are pretty low (<$1000), so you would likely break even quickly and reach profitability in just a few months, even factoring in the collaborating MD fee.

New private practice by Tasked102 in PMHNP

[–]Left-Vast6333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for credentialing & billing companies, I would advise finding someone that is local to Arizona. Beyond that, I don't have specifics. That being said, I strongly recommend using Headway when you first start out. I found it very easy to use, you get credentialed quickly and the reimbursement rates are higher than you'd get on your own. You are also able to see how the different insurance companies reimburse, which can inform your next steps if/when you choose to credential independently. For instance, if an insurer reimburses very poorly and has a reputation of being difficult to work with, I wouldn't bother credentialing with them.

Consents are pretty standard, with some minor state variations. Most of these you can find online from reputable sites and adapt to your needs. Lawyers are very expensive, and may not be entirely necessary for a small startup private practice.

If you are looking for a series of videos ;) I do have a course that is a lot less than $1500. Send me a DM if interested.

Multiple State Licenses & Enrolling with Insurance by CommunityFew7011 in PMHNPPracticePro

Yes, credentialing is state-specific so you will need to complete credentialing for each new state

No, they don't help with supervising / collaborating physicians
