Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, CRNAs, and midwives play a vital role in healthcare. PPS works with advanced practice providers across the country to connect practice planning, credentialing, and business operations.
Whether you own a practice and need help enrolling a newly hired provider or are considering opening your own clinic, our team can help you identify the next steps and the support you need.
APP-led practices have requirements that depend on the provider’s profession, state, services, and payer mix. Build those requirements into the opening plan before making major commitments.
From planning to payer enrollment, our priority is to help you establish a firm foundation and understand the work ahead.

Can nurse practitioners practice independently?
Nurse practitioner practice and prescribing rules vary by state. Full, reduced, and restricted practice categories describe different state requirements. Use the AANP State Practice Environment map as a starting point, then confirm your requirements with the state board of nursing and applicable law.
A state’s category does not, by itself, establish your individual authority to practice or prescribe. The AANP map addresses nurse practitioners; other advanced practice professions have their own requirements. Check the rules for your profession, credentials, and planned services.
