The road to independent practice
Built for every stage of your solo practice journey.
Clinical training prepares you to care for patients, but rarely teaches you how to navigate business setup, multi-state regulations, or payer networks. CareLumi provides the operational guardrails at each step.
Where are you in your solo journey?
Pick one to see where to start. We’ll highlight the solutions and checklist items to prioritize.
Who it’s for: Fellows, residents, and moonlighting clinicians
Starting an independent entity requires an EIN, a dedicated business bank account, separate commercial malpractice insurance, and a compliant practice or virtual address, all without jeopardizing your current academic program or W-2 hospital employment.
We guide you through the essential pre-onboarding requirements, ensuring your administrative identifiers and business addresses are correctly configured before submitting state or board filings.

Solo provider FAQs
No. Many clinicians begin their independent journey while maintaining their primary role. CareLumi configures your practice infrastructure independently so your moonlighting or 1099 practice remains compliant without conflicting with your existing employer.
Yes. CareLumi helps you contract directly with health plans and payers under your own Practice NPI and EIN, allowing you to retain 100% of your insurance reimbursements.
Because DEA registrations are state-specific, CareLumi coordinates and tracks the separate DEA applications required for each state where you intend to prescribe controlled substances.
