"Hospitals generally don’t focus on recruiting Advanced Practice Providers-that’s our niche. We have a Human Resources team that recruits highly-skilled, expert practitioners. With our outsourcing model, we’re putting them on our payroll instead of the hospitals’ so they save money by partnering with us."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a question about AP Health? See the list below for our most frequently asked questions. If your question is not listed here, then please contact us.

  • What types of practitioners work for your company?

    We employ a range of practitioners to work in a hospital’s perioperative care continuum: Physicians (MD or DO), Physician Assistants (PA), Nurse Practitioners (NP), Certified Surgical Assistants (CSA) and Registered Nurse First Assistants (RNFA).

  • Why choose AP Health to improve our hospital’s perioperative services – versus doing it on our own?

    While your hospital may be an exception, this is a new, advanced, perioperative approach for the vast majority of hospitals which simply do not have the in-house resources to manage and execute. This includes the Clinical Perioperative Staffing, Information Technology, and Perioperative Process Improvement services needed. As a third-party we can bill separately for our Advanced Practice Providers (that are deemed medically necessary according to strict compliance rules) and therefore save you money.
