For physicians, NPs, PAs & therapists going independent
Go independent
without the freefall.
The hardest part of opening your own practice isn't the clinical work — it's the months between resigning and your first paid claim. Naustar carries you across it: one team, plus an AI guide named Elf, that plans your exit, runs your credentialing, fills your schedule, and keeps your books. You decide how much you do yourself and how much we do for you.
Most help arrives after you've already jumped.
Every other firm sells one slice of the journey and shows up the day after you quit. Naustar owns the whole arc — and starts before you give notice.
We start before you quit
A free Exit Readiness check decodes your contract — non-compete by your state, non-solicit, tail — and models your runway, before you resign.
We carry you across the valley
Fast credentialing plus a clear model of the cash-flow gap, so the scary middle is planned — not a surprise that pulls you back to employment.
We fill the schedule
Brand, website, local search, and reputation — a full panel, not just an open door. Demand is a pillar here, not an afterthought.
You can resign in a day. Getting paid takes ninety. We carry you across the gap.
One partner for the whole move — on your terms.
We're the team that's still in the room at month six. Here's where the lines are.
What we do
- Decode your contract and map a safe exit
- Run credentialing & payer enrollment
- Build your brand and fill your schedule
- Keep your books and billing after launch
What we don't
- Take a cut of your practice revenue
- Hand you off and disappear at launch
- Give legal advice — we connect you with counsel
From your resignation letter to a full schedule.
Four stages, one team, and Elf tracking every step so you always know what's next.
Exit
Free Exit Readiness check: your contract decoded, runway modeled, a clear go/no-go and timeline — before you resign.
Launch
Entity, credentialing & payer enrollment, EHR and tech stack, compliance — the unglamorous machinery, handled.
Fill
Brand, website, local SEO, and reputation — so your schedule fills, not just your lobby.
Sustain
Billing, denials, and monthly reporting. Elf and your team stay on — independence that lasts.
Meet Elf. Then set the dial.
Naustar runs on Elf, your AI practice guide — it walks you through every step, answers questions day or night, and keeps your whole launch in one place. From there you choose how much you do yourself and how much our team does for you. Your price follows the dial — and we never take a cut of your revenue.
Self-serve
Elf and the full toolkit guide you; you do the doing, at your pace. The lightest, lowest-cost way in.
Hybrid
Elf plus our team on the pieces you'd rather hand off — credentialing, contracts, marketing. You pick.
Done-for-you
Our team runs the whole launch end to end — and we work it until your first claim is paid.
Straight answers.
The things clinicians ask before they leap.
Do you work with NPs, PAs, and therapists — or only physicians?
All independent clinicians. Physicians (MD/DO), nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and therapists (PT, OT, SLP, behavioral health) — anyone leaving employed practice to go out on their own.
Is this legal advice about my non-compete?
No. Naustar provides business and educational guidance, not legal advice — we are not attorneys. We help you understand the landscape and the right questions to ask, and we connect you with licensed healthcare-employment counsel for advice on your specific contract.
How fast until I'm actually getting paid?
Credentialing and payer enrollment typically take 90–180 days per payer. We start early, track it payer-by-payer, and model the cash-flow gap up front so it's planned — not a surprise that sends you back to a salary.
Do you take a cut of my practice revenue?
Never. Naustar is a flat subscription. You keep 100% of what your practice earns.
How does pricing work?
A monthly subscription gives you the platform plus Elf, your AI guide. From there you set the dial: do it yourself with Elf guiding you, hand the whole thing to our team, or anywhere in between. Your price follows how much human help you want.
Do you disappear after launch?
No. The team that plans your exit runs your credentialing and your books — and Elf is on 24/7. We're built to still be here at month six, when it matters most.
You went into healthcare for the patients.
Let's get you back to them.
