State Insights
Pennsylvania at a Glance
Independent-contractor (1099) NP roles in Pennsylvania pay $75–$150+ per hour without benefits or employer-paid malpractice. Clinicians self-fund quarterly estimated taxes, occurrence-based malpractice, and any LLC or PLLC structure — net take-home depends heavily on those offsets and PA self-employment tax exposure. Pennsylvania grants reduced practice authority requiring a collaborative agreement with a physician, and the state's cost of living near the national average (index 100) directly shapes NP compensation expectations. Top metros in Pennsylvania are not currently federally designated health professional shortage areas, but regional demand for NPs and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 6 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for NPs in the state.
Pennsylvania requires a collaborative agreement for PMHNP practice.
