Kinstead • Boston, MA

8d

About The Position

Kinstead helps nurse practitioners in Maryland establish and operate their own insurance-based practices. The nurse practitioner owns the practice identity, brand, website, patient relationships, schedule, and clinical approach, and can choose a specialty or care model such as women’s health, mental health, primary care, telehealth, in-person care, or a combination. There are no panel quotas or minimum patient-volume requirements.

Kinstead supports the practice by handling credentialing with Medicare, Medicaid, and major commercial payers; payer contracts, billing, and collections; website, branding, and Google profile; and the EHR, scheduling, practice tools, and training. Ongoing support is also provided. The nurse practitioner is paid a set rate for each visit, monthly, regardless of whether or when an insurer pays. Top practices earn around $100–$150 per clinical hour, with potential annual earnings of around $250,000 in a full-time practice.

There are no minimums or exit fees. Either party may end the arrangement with 60 days’ notice, and the practitioner retains their patients and brand. Kinstead and the practitioner discuss the practitioner’s goals, plan the practice together, complete credentialing while the practitioner continues current work, and then open the practice. Most NPs see their first patients within about 60 days.
