CAP member physicians often get asked the same question from their colleagues who have not ventured into independent practice: “How did you do it?”

If you’ve ever contemplated making the leap to independent practice, request your free copy of The Physician’s Action Guide to Starting Your Own Practice. We’ve assembled tips from our members who have launched and managed their own private practices.

To make this Action Guide as useful as possible, we’ve included:

  1. A big-picture narrative replete with tips from CAP member physicians who have gone from paid employee to self-employed practitioner, as well as veteran practice administrators who have helped countless physicians, like you, launch their own practice.
  2. A list of valuable practice management resources including CAP-published guides.
  3. A handy Implementation Timeline and Checklist.

CAP SUPPORTS NEARLY 12,000 OF CALIFORNIA’S PHYSICIANS

CAP members receive medical liability protection from the Mutual Protection Trust (MPT). Since 2006, MPT has earned A.M. Best Company′s A+ (Superior) rating, demonstrating MPT′s financial strength and its ability to meet ongoing coverage and contractual obligations.

The Mutual Protection Trust (MPT) is authorized under Section 1280.7 of the California Insurance Code as an unincorporated interindemnity arrangement among physician members of the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP). Members do not pay insurance premiums. Instead, they pay tax-deductible assessments, based on risk classifications, for the amount necessary to pay claims and administrative costs. No assurance can be given as to the amount or frequency of assessments. Members also make a tax-deductible Initial Trust Deposit, which is refundable according to the terms of the MPT Agreement. ©2018
