Remote Psychiatrist Collaborative Physician (MD)

Job description

UpLift & BetterHelp – Redefining Access to Mental Healthcare At UpLift, we believe mental health is just as important as physical health — and we're rethinking the mental healthcare model. UpLift is a multi-sided marketplace, applying technology to empower patients to find Therapists and Psychiatric providers covered by their insurance plan. While 1 in 5 Americans struggle with mental health issues, only 40% of this group received care in the last year. At the same time, only 30% of therapists accept insurance. UpLift acts as the bridge between patient, provider, and insurer — empowering patients to find the best care for their needs at a price they can afford. **Why Join UpLift** - **Flexible earnings model\*:** Compensation includes both patient care and collaboration activities. Physicians can also earn $30 per completed chart review. Total monthly earnings may vary based on state coverage and activity. - **Expand access to care:** Provide psychiatric services to individuals who otherwise may not have access to mental healthcare. - **Collaborative model:** Support and supervise Nurse Practitioners (NPs) through formal collaboration agreements, including chart reviews and consultation. - **All-in-one virtual platform:** Focus on your patients — UpLift handles credentialing, enrollment, and platform operations. - **Work from anywhere:** This role is 100% remote, with care delivered via UpLift’s purpose-built telemedicine platform. - **Flexible commitment:** Part-time, 1099 contract position with autonomy over your clinical schedule. **What You’ll Do** - Conduct video consultations and communicate with patients via telemedicine. - Assess, diagnose, and treat patients, including prescribing medication when clinically appropriate. - Provide supervision and oversight to Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in states requiring collaborative agreements. - Complete required chart reviews and provide timely consultation support to NPs. - Maintain responsiveness for collaboration duties in accordance with state requirements and UpLift standards. - Coordinate care with UpLift’s network of therapists and other providers to ensure high-quality outcomes. - Provide empathetic, evidence-based care while upholding UpLift’s clinical and service standards. - Share product and workflow feedback with UpLift’s engineering and operations teams to help improve care delivery. **Who We’re Looking For** - Board-certified Psychiatrist with active clinical experience. - Active and unrestricted medical license(s) in one or more of the following priority states: Virginia, Texas, Florida, Georgia, or North Carolina. - Multi-state licensure strongly preferred. - Experience supervising or collaborating with Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (e.g. NPs) is preferred. - Comfortable prescribing medication when clinically appropriate and permitted by state law. - Skilled at using online tools and technology to deliver virtual care. - Strong communication skills and ability to provide timely consultation support. - Previous telemedicine experience is a plus. **Important to Know** - This is a part-time, contract (1099) position — not a salaried employee role. - Physicians may set their own schedules for patient care; however, collaboration responsibilities require ongoing responsiveness. - Physicians may stop seeing patients at any time, but collaborative agreement responsibilities require a 120-day wind-down period to ensure continuity of care. - Compensation structure varies by state depending on collaboration requirements (capped vs. uncapped states). - UpLift will credential and enroll you with multiple health plans to expand access to insured patients. - All care is delivered remotely through UpLift’s telehealth platform. - All clinical decisions are made independently by licensed providers in accordance with state telehealth laws and professional standards. **License/Certification:** Medical License (Required) **Location:**Pennsylvania **Work Location:** Remote *\*Compensation is paid on a per-activity basis and is not a guaranteed hourly wage or salary amount.
