State Insights
Massachusetts at a Glance
Outpatient PMHNP roles in Massachusetts span community mental health centers, group practices, and integrated primary-care settings. Caseloads typically run 12 to 18 patients per day with documentation time built in. Massachusetts 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 PMHNP compensation expectations. Top metros in Massachusetts are not currently federally designated mental health shortage areas, but regional psychiatric demand and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 1 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for PMHNPs in the state.
Massachusetts requires PMHNPs to have a supervisory agreement, though requirements vary by practice setting.
