Most NP-owned practices in Washington form a PLLC or PC. Filing fee is $200. A PLLC provides liability protection and is the most common structure for healthcare professionals opening independent practices.

Opening an NP practice in Washington 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.
