Start your own practice. Keep your job.
Openwell launches independent cash-pay practices for physicians who are still employed. We run the launch work and the operating system your practice runs on. You keep every clinical decision, and your salary, while your panel grows.
Free · takes minutes · no sign-in · orientation, not legal advice
You have wanted this for years. Three questions keep stopping you.
“My contract might not let me.”
The free check reads your employment terms in plain language: one light for a side practice, one for full-time after notice. A red light gets an honest not yet, with the date we come back on.
“I can't just walk away from my salary.”
You don't have to. Side Launch runs alongside your job in roughly ten hours a week. It is reversible, and you can cancel anytime.
“Will patients actually pay cash?”
We will not promise that they will. You build your own waitlist under your own brand, watch your own numbers, and decide when they convince you.
From employed to independent, in the order the fear actually falls.
- 01
Check your contract
Free, takes minutes, no sign-in. Green opens the path. Yellow gets a $500 detailed review that credits in full toward your launch. Red gets a date, not a newsletter.
Check your contract - 02
Plan the practice
Name it, budget it, and configure it with a founder. Watch it run on demo patients before anyone asks for money.
- 03
Launch on the side
We run the verification, paperwork, malpractice, payments, and compliance work while you keep seeing patients at your day job. Weeks, not months.
$2,500 setup · $299/mo from go-live - 04
Go full-time when your numbers say so
A deposit-backed waitlist past your hours. Crossover math your family has seen. A peer who already did it. When the proof stacks up, you cross, and your Side setup fee credits in full.

we run the launch
weeks, not months
Two ways in. One is reversible.
Setup is charged when you commit and refunded in full if Openwell cannot complete your launch. The monthly starts when your practice goes live.
A do-it-yourself launch runs $5,000 to $10,000 in cash and months of your nights. Side Launch is $2,500, refundable, and weeks.

HIPAA-grade security What we will not promise: no patient counts, no income claims. You build your own waitlist under your own brand, watch your own numbers, and make the leap when your proof says so. Openwell's job is to make the path real, not to sell you a story.
Most physicians who start this conversation don't launch right away. That is fine. The ones who do, do it with their eyes open. And if we cannot complete your launch, the setup fee comes back in full.
Asked by every physician who got this far.
Can I do this while staying employed?
Yes. Side Launch is built to run alongside your current role in roughly ten hours a week. The contract check tells you whether your agreement leaves that path open before you commit to anything.
What if my contract says no?
A red light gets an honest not yet, with the date we come back on. A yellow light gets a $500 detailed review that credits in full toward your launch. The same contract often reads differently for a side practice and for full-time after notice, so we check both.
What happens if you can't complete my launch?
The setup fee is refunded in full. The monthly never starts, because it only begins when your practice goes live.
Do I need to form a company first?
No. Activation includes a physician-owned entity, structured to your state's rules, along with the rest of the launch checklist.
Who handles malpractice, consents, and HIPAA?
Openwell runs malpractice and insurance, consents and legal documents, and HIPAA and BAA execution as part of activation. The full list is disclosed before you pay.
Is the contract check legal advice?
No. It is orientation, not legal advice. Every output routes to independent counsel.

The contract check is free, takes minutes, and requires no sign-in. Stay employed while you find out.
