How much does an NP preceptor cost?
Most NP preceptor placements through Clinical Match Me cost a flat $1,995 for clinical rotations up to 250 hours. The NP preceptor cost includes the preceptor’s honorarium (their compensation for teaching you), our matching service, school paperwork support, and our 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 includes 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 or the preceptor cancels, you're protected by our Money Back Guarantee.

Some preceptors charge more than the standard rate, in any specialty or market, and a smaller group of preceptors offer hourly rates.
We publish our standard NP preceptor cost. It's predictable and the same in every state. If a preceptor’s offer is above the standard $1,995 flat rate, you see the exact price and what it includes before you accept.

Questions about pricing
