A healthcare practitioner is a licensed individual authorized by the state and performs within the scope of their practice as defined by state law.

Under federal regulations, such an individual can be a doctor of medicine or osteopathy, podiatrist, dentist, chiropractor, clinical psychologist, optometrist, nurse practitioner, nurse-midwife, or clinical social worker.

A healthcare practitioner business runs as a private practice and, if run properly, has the potential to generate huge profits.

If you are a certified medical practitioner, starting your private practice lets you be your “own boss” and gives you the freedom to choose who to serve and where to operate. Therefore, the health practitioner business can be very lucrative.

In this list, you'll find real-world healthcare practitioner success stories and very profitable examples of starting a healthcare practitioner that makes money.
