The part nobody charts for you
Everyone tells you to go independent.
Nobody shows you the valley first.
PracticeElf maps the cash gap between your last paycheck and your first reimbursement — then helps you cross it on your terms.

The number nobody tells you
A cash gap of roughly $90k–$450k, over about 90–180 days of credentialing.
That is the trough — the stretch after you leave employed medicine but before payers finish credentialing you and reimbursements land. Elf estimates yours from your specialty, payer mix, and timeline, then plans the runway around it. The figures below are a typical research range, shown as an estimate — not a promise.

The human-involvement dial
Shrink the valley. You choose how much we carry.
Turn the dial up and our team does more of the work — so credentialing, payer follow-ups, and setup move faster and the trough gets shallower. Elf tracks every payer, flags overdue ones, and drafts the follow-up; turn up the dial and our team works the calls and portals.
