Job Description

Location:

St. Louis, MO (Field-based evaluations with optional dedicated office space at our clinics).

Employment Type: Full-Time, Part-Time, or 1099 Contractor

Schedule: Fully Flexible (Set your own hours)

The Opportunity

AB Spectrum is seeking a Licensed Psychologist to conduct autism and developmental evaluations for children and families. This role offers the ultimate professional flexibility: work from your own space or utilize a dedicated, fully equipped office at one of our St. Louis clinic locations.

Whether you are looking for a robust full-time career or a 1099 role to supplement your current practice, we provide the infrastructure so you can focus on clinical excellence.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

Total Autonomy: Set your own schedule and choose the work environment that suits you best.

Clinical Collaboration: Work alongside a supportive, multidisciplinary team. You will conduct evaluations based on referral questions, intake findings, and requests from our clinical team members.

Streamlined Billing: While you will be an active part of the billing process (utilizing CPT codes like 90791, 96130, and 96131), our administrative team handles the heavy lifting of insurance panels and payments.

Resources Provided: Gain access to a wide array of standardized diagnostic tools and, if desired, a professional office setting for in-person testing.

Clinical Scope & Assessments

  • Assessments are selected based on clinical judgment, developmental history, and specific referral needs from our internal team. You should be proficient in or familiar with:
  • Core Tools: ADOS-2, ADI-R, CARS-2, SCQ, SRS-2, and Early Pointe.
  • Cognitive & Adaptive: WPPSI-IV, Leiter-3, BASC-3, and ABAS-3.

Qualifications & Requirements

  • Licensure: Active Psychologist license in Missouri (PhD or PsyD).
  • Clinical Experience: Proven experience with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and pediatric populations.
  • Credentials: Must maintain an active NPI number and an up-to-date CAQH profile.

Compliance: AB Spectrum provides professional liability coverage; however, psychologists are responsible for ensuring board-required disclosures are current and providing proof of additional individual coverage if required by specific payers.

Exceptional Benefits Package

We believe in supporting our team’s complete well-being. Benefits are tiered based on employment status:

For Full-Time Salaried Employees

Comprehensive Health & Wellness: * Medical Insurance: Coverage starts Day 1 (60% company-covered), progressing to 100% coverage after one year.
