Practice Start-Up Services
Start Your Practice With the Right Foundation
Starting a private medical practice involves much more than finding an office and seeing your first patient. Credentialing, payer contracts, revenue cycle processes, technology, staffing, workflows, and financial operations all need to come together, often months before opening day.
Peregrine Healthcare helps physicians navigate the business and operational side of starting a private practice.
Since 2001, our healthcare strategists have helped physicians build the operational and revenue cycle foundation needed to move from planning to opening day and beyond.
Planning a New Practice? Let’s Build the Roadmap.
From Physician to Practice Owner
Starting your own practice means taking on an entirely new role: business owner.
Before opening your doors, you’ll need to make decisions about payer participation, credentialing, revenue cycle operations, technology, staffing, patient access, workflows, and long-term growth.
Peregrine helps bring those moving pieces together so you can focus on building your practice without having to figure out every step on your own.
Comprehensive Medical Practice Start-Up Support
Every practice launch is different. Peregrine develops a start-up strategy based on your specialty, location, timeline, business model, and operational needs.
Practice Launch Strategy
We help establish priorities, timelines, responsibilities, and operational requirements so you understand what needs to happen, when it needs to happen, and who is responsible for it.
Credentialing & Provider Enrollment
Credentialing and payer enrollment should begin early in the start-up process.
Peregrine can manage CAQH, Medicare/PECOS, commercial payer enrollment, provider and group applications, payer follow-up, and enrollment confirmation.

Managed Care Contracting & Payer Strategy
The payer relationships established when you launch can influence your practice for years to come.
Peregrine helps practices evaluate payer participation opportunities, review agreements and reimbursement considerations, and negotiate payer contracts when appropriate.

Medical Billing & Revenue Cycle Setup
Your revenue cycle should be established before your first patient visit.
Peregrine helps build the processes needed for patient registration, eligibility verification, prior authorizations, coding, claims submission, payment posting, denial management, A/R follow-up, patient collections, and financial reporting.

Practice Systems & Operational Workflows
Strong processes established early can help prevent unnecessary administrative problems as your practice grows.
- Scheduling & Patient Access
- Eligibility & Authorization
- Billing & Collections
- Staff Responsibilities
- Patient Communications
- Reporting & Accountability
Front-Office & Administrative Support
A new practice doesn’t always need a large administrative team on day one.
Peregrine’s Practice Support Center can provide flexible support for scheduling, eligibility verification, prior authorizations, referrals, patient communications, and collections.
