Generic formation services aren't built for NPs

You've probably already looked at LegalZoom, ZenBusiness, or Incfile. Here's why they fall short for nurse practitioners.

They don't know your state's rules

Every state has different rules about how NPs can own and operate practices. Some require collaborative agreements. Some restrict entity types. Some need dual-entity structures. A generic service doesn't know — or care about — any of this.

They skip the healthcare documents

Getting an EIN and articles of incorporation is the easy part. What about your governing documents, consent forms, compliance policies, and the agreements that actually let you see patients? Generic services stop at the filing.

They can't tell you what you don't know

The scariest part of launching your own practice isn't what's hard — it's what you don't know to ask about. NP practice ownership has regulatory nuances that only someone immersed in this space can flag for you.

We specialize in NP practice formation

Prax Health exists specifically to help nurse practitioners launch their own practices — with the right entity structure, the right documents, and the right compliance foundation for their state.

Healthcare-only focus

We don't form LLCs for e-commerce stores. Every client is a healthcare provider, which means we understand the regulatory landscape that shapes your business.

State-by-state knowledge

Full practice authority, reduced practice, restricted practice — we know what each one means for your entity structure, and we set it up accordingly.

Complete launch package

Entity formation is just the starting point. We include the governing documents, compliance materials, and consent forms you need to actually operate.

Everything included in your Launch Kit

One package. Everything you need to go from "I want to start my own practice" to a legally formed, compliance-ready entity.

Entity formation

The right entity type for your state — LLC, PLLC, PC, or dual-entity structures like MSO-PC where required. Filed correctly the first time.

Governing documents

Operating agreements, bylaws, and organizational resolutions written for NP healthcare practices — not generic templates pulled from a library.

Compliance documents

HIPAA-related policies, business associate agreements, and regulatory compliance essentials tailored to your practice type and state.

Consent forms

Patient consent forms, telehealth consent (if applicable), informed consent templates — the clinical paperwork you need before your first patient walks in.

EIN registration

We obtain your Employer Identification Number from the IRS so you can open a business bank account and start operations.

Consultation & guidance

Direct access to our team to answer questions, explain your state's requirements, and make sure you feel confident about what you're building.

Every state is different. We know the differences.

NP practice ownership isn't one-size-fits-all. The entity structure, required agreements, and compliance requirements vary dramatically depending on where you practice.

Full practice authority states

States like Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon let NPs practice independently. Your entity can be a straightforward PLLC — but you still need the right governing docs and compliance framework.

Collaborative agreement states

States like Georgia, Missouri, and North Carolina require a collaborating physician. This doesn't usually change your entity structure, but it shapes your operating agreement and compliance documentation.

Telehealth or in-person practices

Whether you're launching a brick-and-mortar clinic, a virtual practice across multiple states, or a hybrid — each state where you see patients may have different entity and licensing requirements.

Built for NPs at every stage

First-time practice owners

You're ready to go out on your own but don't know where to start with the legal and compliance side. We walk you through every step.

NPs expanding to new states

You already have a practice and want to expand. New state means new rules. We handle the entity and compliance for each state you enter.

Multi-location or multi-provider practices

Scaling beyond a solo practice? Multiple locations, providers, or multi-state operations add complexity. We set up the right structure from the start so you can grow.

Our customers love us

I strongly recommend Prax Health for any NP!

Prax Health has been incredibly helpful setting up my practice, choosing the right entity structure as an NP in California and navigating the requirements for a collaborating physician in California as an experienced provider. Strongly recommend that any NP, PA or clinician who is looking to start a practice work with them!

I feel confident knowing I have support every step of the way

Prax Health has been a lifesaver for getting my psychiatry practice off the ground in California and Hawaii. Clinically, I felt ready to start my own practice but administratively and logistically—I did not know quite where to start. Completing these tasks correctly—and efficiently—was my priority but there was no all-in-one support resource I was aware of until I found Prax. Their help setting up the right entity in each state, ensuring that everything is compliant, and even choosing an EHR has been incredibly helpful. I feel confident knowing that I have Prax's advice and support every step of the way.

I can't say enough good things about the team at Prax Health!

Their support has been absolutely amazing. I was hesitant to start a solo practice, because I had no idea where to start with the business formation side of things. I was pushed in that direction when I was informed that my previous practice was closing, and I had three weeks to figure things out. Prax was able to get me up and running, so I closed out my old employer's business on a Friday and opened my practice the following Monday! My friends and colleagues are all so impressed by how quickly I was able to get my practice up and running. Prax truly made this transition seamless, and I can't wait to recommend them to others who may feel overwhelmed by the business aspects of opening a solo practice.

Tranquil Conceptions Psychiatry, PC

Prax Health's genuine commitment to my success is evident in every interaction.

From quickly and affordably setting up my website to helping me discover more efficient workflow options, their team goes above and beyond. I strongly recommend Prax Health to any provider looking to start or grow their practice with confidence.

Prax has been incredible!

Prax has been incredible! They got my practice up and running in just two weeks and did whatever it took to support me and my patients every step of the way. They handled so much—from setting up my professional corporation and managing insurance enrollments, to helping me launch a full-featured, easy-to-use EHR system and payments. What truly sets Prax apart is how deeply they care about my success. The team has consistently gone above and beyond to support me and ensure my new practice gets off to a strong start. You guys are EXEMPLARY and AWESOME—thank you from my whole heart!

Questions NPs ask us most

How is this different from using LegalZoom or ZenBusiness?

Those services are great for general businesses, but they don't understand NP practice ownership. They won't know if your state requires a PLLC vs. PC vs. MSO-PC structure, and they don't provide healthcare-specific governing documents, consent forms, or compliance materials. We do.

Do I need a collaborating physician to form my entity?

It depends on your state. In full practice authority states, no. In reduced or restricted practice states, you may need a collaborative agreement with a physician. We'll tell you exactly what your state requires during your free consultation.

How long does the process take?

Most Launch Kit deliverables are ready within a couple weeks, though state filing timelines vary. We'll give you a clear timeline during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.

I'm not sure which state I want to practice in yet. Can you still help?

Absolutely. Our consultation is a great place to start. We can walk you through how different states compare from an entity and regulatory standpoint, so you can make an informed decision.

Does this include credentialing or EHR setup?

The Launch Kit focuses on entity formation, compliance documents, and getting you legally ready to operate. We also offer credentialing and EHR services in about half of U.S. states for providers who qualify — just ask and we'll let you know if your state and situation are a fit.
