Nurse Practitioners Banking in Montana — FAQ

Can nurse practitioners own a practice in Montana?

Yes — Montana grants full practice authority to NPs, meaning you can diagnose, treat, and prescribe independently without physician oversight. This makes opening your own practice straightforward.

What business entity should an NP-owned practice use in Montana?

Most NP-owned practices in Montana form a PLLC or PC. Filing fee is $35. A PLLC provides liability protection and is the most common structure for healthcare professionals opening independent practices.

How much does it cost to open an NP practice in Montana?

Opening an NP practice in Montana typically costs $50,000–$200,000 depending on specialty and setting. Costs include office build-out, EHR system, medical equipment, credentialing, insurance, and initial operating capital. Many NPs start with telehealth to reduce overhead.

What banking features do NP practices need in Montana?
