Episode #92 - The Liberated Entrepreneur Nurse and Summit
This episode of the NP Business Matters Podcast discusses the Liberated Entrepreneur Nurse Summit (June 23-28, 2024) with founder Sharon Burch. We talk about what it is, why nurses and nurse practitioners (NPs) will want to attend, what you can expect, and more. I suspect, that other healthcare providers may also glean ideas and inspiration from this as well.
Please feel free to share this with your colleagues. They will thank you!

Why indeed am I talking about job hunting instead of how to start a practice? The short answer is because it matters. In this episode, my guest, Renee Dahring, APRN, FNP, FAANP, and I address a growing concern within the nurse practitioner (NP) community: the challenge of finding employment for both new and seasoned NPs. While I usually focus on topics related to NP practice ownership, it’s ext...

Considerations Before You Start A Practice
very informative. ty!
You are welcome
Hello, I have been a NP x 2 years. Currently working as W2 with a private doctor. I requested to change to 1099 and the doctor told me i need a NP103. Is that information accurate ? Do I need NP103 certification to work under 1099 ?
Unless something changed with 103, this is not true. Many NPs have worked and continue to work as both W2 and 1099. You may want to confirm that with CANP to be sure.
Thank you Barbera❤
This is awesome. Where can we see the whole webinar?
It's pretty dated, as medical billing information has changed. We have done more recent webinars, and those are available to members of NPBO. npbusiness.org/membership
Love this. Am a new FNP with approximately 20 years of experience. My first Masters was an MPH, 6 years ago. I am currently doing some research on a private practice that i can run while also keeping my current position as faculty. Am interested in EHR and EMR suggestions. Do you have any?
You are not alone in that endeavor! EHR/EMR? My best recommendation is to make a list of what you really need (you may not need all the bells and whistles), what you'd like to have, and no-gos/dealbreakers. Then look at your budget. That will take several out of consideration. From there you can start trialing/sampling. Don't be swayed by things you don't need. It's an individual choice, so take your time to find one that works FOR you. Good luck!
@@NPBusiness Thanks a lot.
I recently went to a gyn appointment (in NYC) where they wanted me to sign a 3-page document that included privacy notices, my permission to be treated and within it, what would be the ABN notice. The ABN should have been separate from everything else in my opinion. I felt how they presented it wasn't legal. There was no mention of anything they were going to do at the appointment that might not be covered by Medicare and Medigap. This to my mind was a blank check for them to do anything they wanted and I refused to sign it. (The doctor saw me anyway.)
Thank you so much! You rock’ ❤
Hey Lauren, thanks so much! Happy New Year!
Absolutely. Frustrated and heartbroken by seeing this people promising their help and at the end nothing is done.
Do you need a Laboratory Director to get the CLIA waiver? I am in the state of FL and it appears you do, but it has to be specific, such as an MD.. APRN's are not able to apply.
I'm not sure that you cannot be the lab director for CLIA waived labs. See floridasclinicallabs.gov/latest-news/new-legislation-impacting-your-profession-6/
Probably not pay for or not pay for?
I’m an NP and starting a medical practice and not sure if I’m meeting all the medical requirements, I have a business lawyer getting , name, EIN, state and city but is there more?
Who is highest doctor called abbreviation md or mp? Thank you
You may need to clarify your question. A physician has a "Medical Degree - MD". A Nurse Practitioner may obtain a DNP = Doctorate of Nursing Practice.
Medical doctor is highest doctor no one is above educational field and practices ? Thank you
After graduation as an FNP , when is the right time to start my practice.
That depends on the individual. It really is about you, how much experience you are able to get as an NP, your niche areas, etc. It will differ from person to person. If I was to give it a #, I'd say for the NP who has plenty of experience as an RN first, to give it 3-5 years minimum. But again, it depends.
@@NPBusiness Thank you for your response.
Where can I ask questions I have regarding billing for a non-par provider prior to her becoming a par-provider with Medicare?
If you start this process in 2026, do you have to start this 3 year process as well, or will cali be just like many other states where you can practice independently?
I really cannot answer that for you. Contact CANP and/or the CA BON to get the correct answer.
Sofor solo practice NP, which one should I choose?
I appreciated your comments (confirmation!) about the fact that ADvantage programs do NOT pay the same rates, nor have same timely filing period/response as Medicare... I've discovered this with my long term care patients; and some subscribers, even within the same company-- have DIFFERENT rate coverages (for instance, a 99349 might pay very differently for one patient versus another, who both have same company but different Advantage plan/contract within that company!)--this is difficult! Barbara, may I share this with a Medicare discussion group??
Please feel free to share any of the links to the content. So many people are unaware of the problems - both providers and patients. We need to educate people as to what they are getting into. Thank you.
wow. timely topic for personal as well as professional reasons! Thank you.
Thank you for posting this meeting. It helped me greatly. ❤
Clear stuff
If I work for an FQHC where I am forced to take Medicare, but I want to open a side hustle that does cash only, can I just refer my Medicare pt's out to other providers, or is there no way to do that? The side hustle would be a niche practice and would not be a PCP office.
Believe I answered this in the group. You are taking a risk. Occasionally, a MCR recipient will still send their invoice/receipt into Medicare to see if they can get reimbursed for any part of the visit. If that happens, you would be out of compliance.
@@NPBusiness thanks, I do believe you did answer this. I will look into ways to circumvent this, thank you!
This was helpful, thank you
You’re brilliant. Thank you!
Thank you so very much!
Great Course
Love Sassy! Very cute, and Love Don Self. No question it is very difficult to get patient to pay us after the check ahs been sent to them. Thanks Barbara.
Thanks for your comment. I always suggest you collect at the time of service. I've even had to reschedule appointments in order to make that happen. The thing is, if you don't, you put the practice at risk, and no one get's served.
is there any mew updates in AB-890 now that it is 2023?
Yes, we did an update in January npbusiness.org/ab890/

What business can we start as a DNP clinical nurse specialist adult gerontology
So sorry, I am just seeing this. It really depends on what you want to do, and what your state rules/SOP allow you to do. Many will do case management, consulting, education, advocacy, etc.
I was under the impression that you were obligated to take anyone and everyone who had insurance you were credentialed with. Is that true?
If you are not an emergency room or hospital, or other agency that accepts federal funding in order to provide services to all comers, then you do not. You can always limit your practice size or the panel. (Of course, you don't want to discriminate on race, gender, religion, age, etc).
So what do you do if you need to decrease your medicare/medicaid population? Just say you have reached your panel size?
Yes.
Thank you, you're very knowledgeable, thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Very Helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Very good video! Thank you for this
You are quite welcome.
Hi there, I have been doing so much research, but I am having a hard time deciding which NP program will allow me to consider opening a retail establishment like a wellness center. I do understand that it is based on the states scope of practice and policies where I decide to pursue this business. However, would I do FNP or AGPCNP. Thats where I am struggling. I am hoping you can help. Thank you=)
FNP gives you the greatest scope of practice
@@NPBusiness thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Are you offering this course again?
Hi Cynthia, I've actually had several requests recently. We are looking into it, likely around the first of the year. If you are on our email list, you'll be notified. Thanks for asking.
Thank you for your guidance.

Very practical issues that we overlook. Thanks so much Barbara this is so helpful.

Love this and I’m so excited for the workshop, just signed up for more info!! Do u offer credential assistance as a service through ur company
Thank you! I'm looking so forward to this workshop myself! Re credentialing, no we do not offer this as a service. It's easy albeit, time-consuming, to do it yourself. You'll save all sorts of headaches not to mention thousands of $$! I do have a course that shows you how. www.clinicianbusinessinstitute.com/diy-credentialing
