You know you need a medical director to launch your business.
But maybe you don’t know a physician with the knowledge and skills to effectively collaborate within your business.
Or maybe you don’t know how to negotiate a contract.
Perhaps you aren’t sure of what to say or how to approach the subject.
Maybe you live in a state where tight regulations make it difficult to find a qualified physician.
You’re not alone.
Do you know how to negotiate payment and services? Do you know if you are being taken advantage of? Do you know what to expect from a good physician collaborating with you in your business?
Writing a contract is expensive. If a physician wants a percentage of your business, it’s expensive. Involving lawyers is expensive.
Except the fact is in many cases, your nurse business cannot exist without a collaborating physician. It’s a necessity. And in the rare cases where it might not be a necessity, it’s always nice to have.

NursePreneurs has discovered 3 great options for your business.
INTRODUCING
Collaborating Docs was founded by Dr. Annie DePasquale. Collaborating Docs specialize in helping nurse practitioners ONLY who need a supervising physician or a medical director.
Guardian Medical Direction was founded by Dr. Chris Seitz. Dr. Seitz prides himself on providing affordable medical directors for RNs and NPs. They are a team of providers
Doctors for Providers was founded by Dr. Lev Grinman and Dr. Dan Cousin. Both are incredible Board-Certified Physicians who specialize in helping nurses in business—the RNs and NPs.
Collaborating Physician
The team sources collaborating physicians from their database of vetted physicians who understand business and understand the role they are supposed to play in your business. Expectations are set with all the physicians.
State-Specific Knowledge
Live in a CPOM state? Your state has some wonky “rules”. This is no problem for our medical director groups. They know exactly what is required by the collaborating docs and they can advise you and let you know. They have physicians in all 50 states.
Simple Negotiations
The medical director groups negotiate with the physicians on what they need to do in your business to be an effective partner. They make sure they understand their role.
Available Replacements
Your physician doesn’t do what you need, the relationship sours, he gets hit by a car or moves to Australia. Your entire business is riding on the good health and graces of a single person. Not anymore. Your collaborating doc can be replaced within a couple days.
Built-In Mentor
The medical director is there to help you be successful. They can help you get organized and provide guidance in your business because these physicians have been in business and know how to successfully start one.
Professionals Who Know Your Specialty
Is the about-to-retire pathologist who doesn’t even understand IV hydration therapy a good fit for your business? Probably not. That is why you get paired with physicians who understand your business model. And oftentimes can provide sound mentorship advice as many of the collab docs have run their own practices and businesses.
Pre-Written Contracts
The medical director teams have gone to incredible pains and expense to understand the laws and contracts in the various states (that’s a lot!). The legal team has already drafted contracts that are physician and nurse friendly. It’s a win-win combination.
Fair Market Value
The medical teams are proud to help establish fair market value for collaborating physicians and they never ask for a percentage of your business. You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars or give away equity.
Nurse Friendly
Our medical directors are proud to be nurse friendly, and they’re eager to work with nurses to help them grow their businesses. We are beyond thrilled to have found the team!
You’ve worked so hard to put your nurse business together and the last piece preventing the launch is finding the right collaborating physician. Some are too high, some want equity, some just want to be part of the ride.
You can get a collaborating physician in your specialty at fair market value – FAST…
We don’t guarantee many things, but in this case we can. When you are ready to partner with a knowledgeable, well-trained nurse’s medical director, these medical director teams guarantee to pair you up with a collaborating physician in 30 days. So no need to rush on this front. They have thousands of physicians waiting to work with you.
How much time is needed to get paired with a collaborating physician?
If have a launch date for your business within 6 weeks, then this is perfect timing. On the other extreme, don’t expect to get paired with a physician with a week or less notice. It’s possible, but not recommended or guaranteed.
What do the physicians do?
The collaborating physicians having an active role in the business. They need to be available to you within reason and they need to know what is going on within the business. To that end, expectations are set with physicians and the role they will play in your business.
What is the difference between a collaborating physician and a medical director?
It’s semantics. Historically a medical director is someone who runs a specialty or a division. We use the term in business to hire a physician to work with nurses, however, technically the physician is collaborating with us.
The use of the words collaborating physicians make you think of a physician working with NPs in the hospital, but it is the technically correct term for how they help nurses outside the hospital too in business.
What are the contracts like?
Contracts vary in length but typically are set for 1 year. Contracts are automatically renewed unless one of the parties decides to withdraw from the relationship. This means the nurse may be responsible for paying for the medical director even if there is no income coming into the business.
What is the monthly cost of a medical director?
This number will vary from business model to business model and from state to state. Generally many of the medical directors are sourced at less than $1200 a month and some as little as $700. After your particular business is vetted you will be provided with a more accurate range. *Prices subject to change.

What if I don’t get along with my medical director?
If for whatever reason you don’t match with any of the physicians we will review with you the potential issues.
Relationships are everything in business. However there are certainly times when certain personalities are mutually unbeneficial. In this case, and in accordance with your contract, you can go through the process again and find a new medical director who better suits your needs.
