Louisiana Collaborating Physician Jobs – Connect with Clinics Hiring Physicians
Louisiana is a reduced practice state with no path to NP independence — every APRN must maintain an active, LSBN-approved Collaborative Practice Agreement to practice and prescribe. That makes Louisiana one of the most consistently active states for collaborating physician opportunities in the country.
Louisiana’s Permanent Collaboration Requirement Creates One of the Most Consistent Markets in the Country
Louisiana is a reduced practice state — and unlike transition-to-independence states, it has no experience-based pathway to independent practice. Every APRN in Louisiana must maintain an active, LSBN-approved Collaborative Practice Agreement (CPA) with a licensed physician in order to practice and prescribe. This requirement never expires.
With over 95% of the state classified as medically underserved and a large and growing APRN workforce — in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and beyond — the demand for collaborating physicians in Louisiana is high, consistent, and long-term. And because there is no ratio limit on the number of NPs a physician may collaborate with, you have genuine flexibility to build your involvement over time.
Louisiana also requires a designated backup physician on every CPA — creating a second layer of steady demand for physicians willing to serve in both primary and backup collaborator roles.
Louisiana State Requirements
All APRNs must have a written, LSBN-approved Collaborative Practice Agreement (CPA) with a physician to practice and prescribe. There is no experience-based pathway to independent practice. LAC 46:XLVII.4513
The collaborating physician must be actively engaged in clinical practice in Louisiana and in the same or a comparable scope or specialty as the APRN. The CPA must be reviewed and renewed annually. LAC 46:XLVII.4505
The collaborating physician must review a minimum of 5% of patient charts monthly and participate in monthly meetings with the APRN. The CPA must document how the physician will be available for consultation. LAC 46:XLVII.4513.D
A backup (secondary) collaborating physician is required and must also be approved by LSBN. If neither the primary nor backup physician is available, the APRN cannot prescribe. LAC 46:XLVII.4513.D.1.vi
Any changes to the CPA — adding or removing a physician, changing practice sites — require written notification to LSBN within 30 days. No ratio limit on the number of NPs per collaborating physician. No on-site visit requirement under LSBN rules.
What a Collaborating Physician Does in Louisiana
Your role in Louisiana is active and clearly defined — including monthly chart review, monthly meetings, and documented availability. We structure your agreements so every requirement is clear before you sign.
Sign the LSBN-Approved CPA
Execute a written Collaborative Practice Agreement covering the APRN’s scope of practice, prescriptive authority (including which controlled substance schedules are included), clinical guidelines, chart review, meeting frequency, and physician availability protocols.
Monthly Chart Review (5% Minimum)
Review a minimum of 5% of the APRN’s patient charts each month. This is a firm Louisiana requirement — not discretionary. Chart review must be documented and consistent with the standards set in the CPA.
Monthly Meetings
Participate in monthly meetings with the APRN to review patient care, discuss clinical issues, and maintain the collaborative relationship required by Louisiana law. Meetings may be conducted by telephone or telehealth.
Documented Availability
The CPA must document how you will be available for consultation, emergency assistance, and patient referrals. Louisiana law states that if neither you nor the backup physician is available, the APRN cannot prescribe — making your documented availability essential.
Annual CPA Review
The CPA must be reviewed and renewed annually by both parties. This ensures prescriptive authority remains active and that protocols stay current with clinical practice standards — and it creates a natural annual touchpoint for each collaboration.
Earn Stable, Long-Term Income
Because Louisiana’s collaboration requirement is permanent, your income from these arrangements is ongoing. No transitional period — as long as the APRN practices, the agreement continues and your role remains active.

Louisiana places no limit on the number of NPs you can collaborate with, giving you genuine flexibility to grow your additional income over time.
Louisiana Clinic Types We Work With
Louisiana’s permanent collaboration requirement means every NP-led clinic and PA-staffed practice in the state needs a physician — creating steady demand across every practice type and specialty.
This Opportunity Is Ideal For
Physicians actively engaged in clinical practice in Louisiana with an active LSBME license
Physicians practicing in a scope or specialty comparable to the NP’s area of practice
Those seeking stable, long-term additional income with no expiration
Physicians comfortable with monthly chart review and monthly meeting requirements
Important: Louisiana requires the collaborating physician to be actively engaged in clinical practice in the state and practicing in the same or a comparable scope or specialty as the APRN. Retired physicians are not eligible. Your LSBME license must be current and valid.
Louisiana Collaborating Physician Jobs — Permanent Demand Across New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and the Pelican State
Louisiana has no NP independence pathway — every prescribing APRN needs a LSBN-approved Collaborative Practice Agreement with a physician permanently. That structure, combined with no ratio cap and Louisiana’s large and growing NP workforce, creates a deep, consistent market for collaborating physician jobs, part time physician jobs, and physician side jobs across New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette, and the state’s extensive rural communities. With monthly meetings and chart review conducted by phone or telehealth — and no on-site requirement — Louisiana physician collaboration is among the most remote-accessible in the South.
Remote Physician Jobs — Monthly Meetings by Phone or Telehealth
Louisiana law requires monthly meetings and 5% chart review — but both can be conducted entirely by telephone or telehealth. There is no on-site visit requirement in statute, and the physician’s availability for consultation can be provided by direct telecommunications. This makes Louisiana collaborating physician jobs some of the most remote-accessible in the Deep South — genuinely remote physician jobs that meet all state requirements without any scheduled in-person presence.
Part Time Physician Jobs — No Ratio Cap, Scalable Income
Louisiana has no statutory ratio cap on the number of APRNs a physician may collaborate with simultaneously — giving physicians complete flexibility to scale their part time physician jobs portfolio based on available capacity. Whether you hold one CPA as a supplemental income stream or build a portfolio of multiple concurrent agreements, the structure is the same: same-scope availability, monthly telehealth meetings, 5% chart review, and backup physician coordination managed on your behalf. Louisiana’s permanent collaboration requirement means each arrangement is a long-term, not temporary, income source.
Physician Consulting Jobs — New Orleans Medspa and Aesthetics Market
New Orleans’s French Quarter, Garden District, and Uptown corridors host a thriving medspa and aesthetics market, and NP and PA-operated weight loss and IV hydration practices across the metro drive consistent demand for physician consulting jobs beyond standard CPA arrangements. Physician consulting jobs at Louisiana aesthetic and wellness clinics typically cover protocol development, payer credentialing support, and quality assurance program oversight — often structured as retainer engagements alongside a primary CPA agreement.
Permanent Income — No Independence Pathway in Louisiana
Because Louisiana’s collaboration requirement is permanent — with no experience-based exit and no pending legislation to change this — every CPA arrangement a physician enters today is a long-term income source rather than a temporary engagement window. A physician side job in Louisiana is effectively a lifetime income arrangement for as long as the APRN practices in the state. This structural permanence, combined with no ratio cap, makes Louisiana one of the most income-stable physician side job markets in the South.
