Going Independent: The Complete Physician Checklist

Everything you need before opening your independent practice — organized by phase, with the items that have long lead times flagged so you start them first.

What Takes Days vs. What Takes Months

Takes days

  • • EHR setup
  • • AI scribe (NoPajamaTime: 1 day)
  • • Business bank account
  • • Entity formation (online)
  • • Telehealth platform
  • Takes months

  • • Payer credentialing
  • • Non-compete waiting period
  • • Office lease negotiation
  • • Staff hiring
  • • Building patient volume
  • Set up your AI scribe before day one

    NoPajamaTime deploys in a day — uses a clinician-reviewed copy/paste handoff into the existing EHR, no IT setup. Start the trial during your transition period so you're documenting without pajama time from your first independent patient.
