Job Description

The Role

We are seeking an autonomous, board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to provide outpatient psychiatric evaluations and medication management via telehealth. As a 1099 Independent Contractor, you have total control over your schedule—choose your own working days, set your appointment hours, and practice as much or as little as you want.

Recent graduates and newly certified PMHNPs are welcome and encouraged to apply. If you have passed your boards and hold your state APRN license, this role provides the platform, referrals, and administrative backing to start seeing patients right away without the expense of running your own practice.

Competitive Per-Session Pay: Earn reliable, competitive compensation per completed evaluation and medication follow-up.

Zero Administrative Burden: We handle patient acquisition, intake scheduling, insurance credentialing, patient billing, and claims management.

Turnkey for New Grads: Hit the ground running with an established EHR platform and dedicated operational support.

100% Telehealth: Practice entirely from your private, HIPAA-compliant home office.
