Tell us what you’re building
We start with your vision, the people you want to serve, and the decisions your practice needs to make in its first year.
Faith based practice building
From “I want my own practice” to a business built to run.
First year business consulting plus the credentialing, billing, and back office setup your practice needs, built and handled by Elixir RCPM’s experts.
Build your practice with a clear plan and credentialing in motion. You know how to care for clients. I know what it takes behind the scenes to make a practice run. I’m not a therapist teaching clinical care. I bring the business side expertise in credentialing, payer decisions, revenue cycle, and the systems that support growth. Together, we’ll turn “I want my own practice” into a clear plan and practical next steps.

A calling needs a plan
Let’s talk about the part they didn’t teach you in school.
Our ReadySetBill365 business consulting was designed for new practice owners who want to start on solid ground and build a practice they understand and can lead with clarity. Consulting focuses on the services in your package: credentialing and payer decisions, back office infrastructure, billing oversight, understanding your reports, and planning for growth. Elixir RCPM is the powerhouse behind the business consulting, providing the business side expertise and doing the backend work that supports what you learn.
We help you make the business decisions, build the infrastructure behind your practice, and handle credentialing, billing, payment setup, follow up, and reporting while you focus on your patients.
Along the way, we teach you the business side of healthcare as it relates to insurance and billing patients: how payer contracts, claims, patient balances, payments, and follow up affect your practice. We show you how to read your numbers, spot billing problems, understand what a billing team should be doing, and decide what your practice needs as it grows. You won’t have to learn how to do our work yourself. You’ll know how to oversee it, whether you eventually hire an internal team, work with an outside company, or continue with Elixir RCPM.
We build the infrastructure
We handle credentialing and payer setup, connect your EHR and clearinghouse, complete EDI, EFT and ERA enrollment, and establish billing workflows, fee schedules, and reporting within your package.
We stay for the first year
I help you understand your numbers and the decisions ahead. Our team stays with your practice for the first year to manage the revenue cycle work, reporting, maintenance, and strategic guidance included in your package.
Beyond credentialing
Know your business without doing our job.
The $3,000 unlimited credentialing package covers credentialing only. Ready Set Bill 365 is the complete first year package: business consulting for you as an owner, plus credentialing, infrastructure, billing, and reporting handled behind the scenes. I help you read your reports and ask the right questions: Are claims getting paid? Why is accounts receivable growing? Is the billing team following up? Can you afford another clinician? You learn to judge how the business and its billing partner are performing; we build and manage the systems, credentialing, billing, and reporting behind the scenes.
Want a partner behind the scenes?
The complete first year packages include business consulting, credentialing, business infrastructure, reporting, strategic guidance, and billing. The $15,000 solo package includes a full year of billing, free of additional billing charges. The $20,000 solo plus group package includes the first three months of billing free, followed by nine months at a 4% billing rate. If your practice needs a different scope, ask about a tailored ongoing plan.

One provider, one location.
Ask about unlimited panels →Let’s clear a few things up
What is the difference between credentialing only and the first year packages?
If you only need help joining insurance networks, the $3,000 unlimited credentialing package covers one provider at one location for one year. They do not include business consulting, practice infrastructure, billing, or reporting. If you want help building and running the business behind your practice, the $15,000 solo and $20,000 solo plus group packages cover your first year of business consulting and hands on backend support, including credentialing, infrastructure, billing, and reporting. Solo includes a full year of billing with no additional billing charge. Group includes the first three months of billing free, followed by nine months at a 4% billing rate.
What changes if I pay in installments?
The $15,000 solo package is three $5,000 payments; the $20,000 solo plus group package is four $5,000 payments. Three installments for solo include up to eight payer panels for one provider. Four installments for solo plus group include 10 selected insurance panels for up to five eligible providers. One upfront payment includes unlimited panels. The group package covers up to five eligible providers in year one with each payment choice.
What if I need group contracts or hire more providers?
Choose the $20,000 package for Type 2 group contracting and credentialing for up to five eligible providers in the first year. Credentialing for additional providers is $175–$300 per provider, per carrier, depending on the application type. New locations and additional Type 2 NPIs incur separate charges. The first three months of billing are free, followed by nine months at a 4% billing rate.
What do I complete in CAQH, and what do you handle?
You complete your personal demographics, education, and professional background in CAQH; we’re here to answer questions as you do it. We add the practice, location, payer, and supporting document information, then handle CAQH reattestations and payer directory maintenance during your program.
How does billing work in the solo package?
The $15,000 solo package includes a full year of billing, free of additional billing charges, whether you pay upfront, in three installments.
Is this only for mental health therapists?
This offer is designed for new outpatient solo practices in behavioral health, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. We’ll confirm the fit for your license, location, and plans during your consultation.
What is outside the first year package?
Eligibility and benefit verification, authorizations, taxes and accounting, clinical work, legal services, and facility billing are outside this package. Old accounts receivable can be added at a percentage of collections agreed upon during our one on one call. Additional providers in the solo package, and additional entities, states, specialties, or locations in either package need a separate scope. The group package covers up to five eligible providers in year one. Credentialing for additional providers is $175–$300 per provider, per carrier, depending on the application type. New locations and additional Type 2 NPIs incur separate charges.
Will I be in network immediately?
No. Payer decisions, effective dates, and processing times vary. We’ll discuss the practical sequence for your practice before work begins.

A note of encouragement as you build your practice
I wanted to share my experience working with Christine and her team.
I started my practice as a solo speech-language pathologist and have since expanded into a growing group practice. I completely understand the hesitation that comes with making a significant financial investment, especially when you’re still establishing your business and hoping to grow. I’ve experienced those growing pains myself, and I believe there will always be a period of uncertainty when transitioning from a solo practitioner to a growing business owner.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that there is only one of you, and at some point, you have to become comfortable delegating responsibilities in order to grow. As a solo practitioner, I was the only person providing therapy, which meant I was also the only person directly generating revenue for my practice. If I wanted to eventually hire clinicians, build their caseloads, and expand my business, I needed to be intentional about where I was spending my time.
For me, that meant prioritizing the delegation of billing, credentialing, and other administrative responsibilities. I wanted to make sure the foundation of my business was established correctly so that I could focus my energy on what I was actually trained to do: provide therapy, serve my patients, and grow my caseload. Having those systems in place gave me the confidence to expand without constantly worrying about what was happening behind the scenes.
Christine and her team have been an incredibly valuable part of that foundation. At this point in my practice, whenever I have a billing or insurance-related question or concern, she is one of the first people I reach out to. I’ve developed a tremendous amount of trust in her knowledge and experience.
While $15,000 is certainly a significant investment, I would encourage you to consider your long-term goals. If your goal is to grow your practice, having the right infrastructure and ongoing support from the beginning can make a tremendous difference. You cannot grow a business if all of your time is spent trying to manage every aspect of it yourself. At some point, you have to invest in people who are experts in their respective areas so that you can focus on being the expert in yours.
I can confidently recommend Christine. Having someone knowledgeable and trustworthy supporting the business side of my practice has been invaluable, and I truly believe establishing that foundation early on has played an important role in my ability to grow with confidence.
Wishing you the best as you build your practice!

From employed provider to practice owner
I first worked with Christine and her team while I was a provider at another practice they supported. When I decided to open my own speech therapy practice, they helped me build it from the ground up, from credentialing and setting up the back office to the business support I needed to get started.
As my practice grew, I continued with Elixir RCPM for ongoing support. They have handled my billing and coding for the past three years and continue to manage credentialing as I grow.

From uncertainty to a working back office
I had already started credentialing, but I did not know where things stood. I had also been using a billing software that had sent very minimal claims. I needed help getting my credentialing and billing in order.
When I moved to Elixir RCPM, Christine and her team corrected my credentialing, set up my system, and took over my billing and coding. They continue to support credentialing and billing for my private practice and nonprofit as I build and grow. We now have two locations and are opening an intensive outpatient program (IOP).

Support for a growing therapy group
I’m a speech language pathologist and own a group practice with 13 speech and occupational therapists. We had an internal biller who did a decent job, but I later learned how much had been written off without my consent.
Christine and her team supported our practice across credentialing, billing and coding, back office operations, and the other services we needed. Christine was so sweet to work with, and her team did a great job supporting our practice.
They also coached me on the basics of billing and helped me understand how to manage my back office, so I could recognize problems and avoid ending up in that position again, or worse.

Finding support at the start of credentialing
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Christine Smith and the entire Elixir team for your exceptional support during the start of my credentialing process. As someone just starting out, I was unsure of how to begin this extensive journey, but your patience with my many questions made all the difference.
I especially appreciate Christine taking the time to meet with me personally and working around my full schedule. As a practice owner, I am an LCSW providing faith-based, Christ-centered psychotherapy services to dismantle the stigma around mental health within the Christian community. I truly feel led to this organization to help build this practice.
I purchased the unlimited package to help serve the many individuals in my community, particularly those with Medicaid and Medicare, who struggle to find clinicians who accept their insurance. While we are still in the middle of the credentialing process, I am confident that we will successfully complete it with all local insurance providers, allowing me to expand access to care for those in need.
Thank you again for all your support and dedication.
Warmly,
Amanda Jackson, LCSW
