How much does an NP preceptor cost?
Most NP preceptor placements through Clinical Match Me cost a flat $1,995 for a full clinical rotation up to 250 hours. That’s all-inclusive. The NP preceptor cost includes the preceptor’s honorarium, our matching service, school paperwork support, and a money-back guarantee.
A smaller group of preceptors offer hourly rates instead, which vary by individual. You’ll see the exact NP preceptor cost on every offer before you commit. The price on the offer is the price you pay.
The flat rate covers one rotation with one preceptor, up to 250 clinical hours. If your program requires more than that, extra hours are available at $1,000 per 100-hour block, and you'll see the total on the offer before you accept it.
You pay the same whether you need a preceptor for next semester or next month, and you start your search free. If your school rejects the preceptor, our money back guarantee covers you.

NP preceptor cost by specialty
The standard $1,995 flat rate applies across every NP specialty we place. Whether you’re searching for an FNP, PMHNP, AGPCNP, AGACNP, WHNP, Pediatric NP, DNP, AGNP, midwife, or APRN preceptor, the NP preceptor cost is the same. Premium preceptors with hard-to-find specialties or in high-demand markets occasionally charge more, and a smaller group of preceptors offer hourly rates. In every case, you’ll see the exact cost on each offer before deciding.
This is unusual in the industry. Many other preceptor matching services charge variable rates based on specialty, hours, location, or “rush” timelines. We don’t. The standard NP preceptor cost is published, predictable, and the same in California, Texas, Florida, New York, and every other state. If a preceptor’s offer is above the standard $1,995 flat rate, you’ll know exactly why, exactly how much, and exactly what’s included.
Most of our preceptors offer the $1,995 flat rate. A smaller group of preceptors offer hourly rates, which vary by individual. You typically receive multiple offers, a mix of flat and hourly, and choose whichever works best for your situation.
Questions about pricing
Do I have to pay anything upfront?+−
No. Signing up and getting matched are free. You pay once you accept an offer from a preceptor, and that one price is the whole cost.
Does the price include the preceptor’s fee?+−
Yes. Every offer you receive is all-inclusive. The price covers everything, including the preceptor’s compensation. You’ll never be asked to make a separate payment to the preceptor.
How do payment plans work?+−
We offer extended payment plans ranging from 2 to 24 months. You’ll select your preferred plan during checkout.
What’s the difference between flat rate and hourly rate?+−
Flat rate pricing means you know the cost in advance. The standard flat rate is $1,995 for up to 250 hours, and most of our preceptors offer this plan. Premium flat rate preceptors charge more than the standard $1,995 based on demand for their specialty or location.
Hourly rate pricing is offered by a smaller group of preceptors. The rate varies by preceptor. Either way, you’ll always see the exact price before you commit.
What if I need more than 250 hours?+−
No problem. If your rotation requires more than 250 hours under the flat rate standard plan, you can buy extra hours at $1,000 per 100-hour block.
Is there a rush fee if I need a preceptor quickly?+−
Nope. You pay the same price whether you need a preceptor next week or next semester.
What happens if things don’t work out?+−
Our money back guarantee has you covered. If your school rejects the preceptor for any reason, or if the preceptor cancels or disappears, you’ll get a full refund or a replacement preceptor at no extra cost.
