Let’s grow the profession.
See patients. Learn about private practice.
Open private practice. Take your patients.
Set your own schedule
Flexibility and independence
With IMUA, you have the ability to set your own schedule and choose the clients you work with. This allows for a personalized approach to therapy and the ability to tailor your practice to fit your unique style and values.
Working for yourself, not by yourself
Support staff for admin work
With dedicated support staff to handle administrative work, you can focus on what you do best – delivering high-quality patient care. We do all the billing, credentialing, referrals, and more. Enjoy the benefits of running your own practice, without the stress of doing it all alone.
Consultation
Multi-disciplinary team
Private practice can be a lonely endeavor. Our monthly clinical consultation group allows providers to discuss complex cases and receive feedback from other experienced clinicians. The team has Clinical Psychologists, Clinical Social Workers, Mental Health Counselors, and Marriage & Family Therapists.
Working Together
One Year Minimum Commitment
If you’re newly licensed or have been thinking about opening a private practice for a LONG TIME, let’s work together for a year! You would be an employee so you don’t have to worry about saving your own federal and state income taxes. Nor would you have to worry about paying for your own office and supplies. There are several options after the one year commitment. Including staying on long-term.
Let’s Build Your Panel
Manageable quota
Whether you prefer to see a high volume of clients or take a more deliberate and intentional approach to your caseload, we’re here to support you in meeting your individual needs and goals. The clients you help here will eventually be your private practice clients.
Learn About Private Practice
IMUA University
We know they didn’t teach you how to open or run your own business in school. They didn’t teach us either! We offer a comprehensive program to help providers start and run their own practice. With a focus on personalized support, the program provides guidance on all aspects of practice management, from business planning to credentialing and beyond. We will even credential your practice!
Flexible Schedule
Let us know when and how often you’d like to see patients and we’ll do the rest. Some of our providers see a handful of patients each week, while others handle a bunch. It’s totally up to you!
Support Staff
Our dedicated support staff are here to help you manage your appointments, whether scheduling follow-ups, or rescheduling if you need to cancel.
Benefits
We offer HMSA medical, dental, and vision to qualified team members. There are also additional benefits for qualified full-time employees.
Provider Team
Going on vacation or not feeling well and worried about your patients? Our team is a cohesive support network to help cover your patients while you are away.
Practice Consultation
Led by our Founder and CEO, this group is dedicated to discussing the business aspects of running a successful private practice. Learn best practices in a supportive environment.
Clinical Consultation
Collaborate with fellow practitioners to discuss challenging cases and therapeutic techniques, gaining valuable insights and diverse perspectives. Elevate the quality of care you provide and expand your professional growth within our supportive community.
Technology
Providers are issued HIPAA-compliant laptops for telehealth and documentation. IMUA also uses HIPAA-compliant email, Microsoft 365, Adobe Sign, and text messaging. We also contract a locally owned IT company for support.
Your Practice Set-up
Once your credentialing is all set, we’re here to help you out with setting up YOUR very own private practice. We’ll even handle the credentialing process for you. Just give us the heads up when you’re ready to dive in and we’ll get things rolling.
NHSC-Approved Site
IMUA Health Group is also proud to announce that we are a National Health Service Corps (NHSC)-approved site! For those who are currently or potentially will participate in the NHSC Loan Repayment Program. Click the badge to learn more about HRSA and the NHSC.
Take Your Patients With You
Yes, take your patients with you means exactly that. Let’s build up your panel and when your commitment is over, if you feel ready, take your patients with you to your private practice.
Let’s Stay Connected
Mentorship or Partnership
As you make the transition into your own private practice, let’s stay in touch! We’d be happy to help as you grow through your process of your own practice. Perhaps we could even partner up? There are several options after your one-year commitment, including staying on for another year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this for real?
Yes! The way we laid out the process above is exactly how the program works. One-year minimum commitment.
What happens after the one-year commitment?
Couple options:
If you would like to work another year with us, you don’t have to do a thing! All contracts are set to auto-renew at the one year mark. Although we want to help providers open up their own practices, we are more than happy to work with someone for years to come.
If you feel ready to open your own private practice, you have our blessing! Just as it’s laid out above.
I can really take my patients with me?
Absolutely! We know that the need for healthcare and good healthcare providers continues to grow every year. There are more patients that need help than there are providers to help them. So we are happy to help you build your panel before you venture off to open your own practice.
How do I get paid?
Just like in private practice, we only get paid when a patient comes to their appointment and we can bill for their session. This is how we calculate how many hours a provider gets paid for. We have payroll every two weeks.
Benefits?
For those who work the qualifying amount of hours, we have HMSA medical, dental, and vision to offer. There are also additional benefits for qualified employees including FSA and a partial gym membership reimbursement. We partnered with CrossFit West Oahu.
Are there any restrictions if I leave after my one-year commitment?
Nope! We don’t have a non-compete clause. Like we said earlier, there’s a need for healthcare and good healthcare providers. We believe there are more patients that need help than there are providers to help them.
