Job Description
BetterHelp and UpLift offer a remote, part-time opportunity for a Psychiatrist Collaborative Physician (MD) working on a 1099 contract basis. UpLift operates a marketplace platform that connects patients with insurance-covered therapists and psychiatric providers, bridging the gap between individuals seeking affordable mental healthcare and providers. This role suits board-certified psychiatrists who want to deliver virtual care while also supervising and collaborating with Nurse Practitioners.
In this capacity, physicians conduct telehealth video consultations, assess and diagnose patients, prescribe medications when clinically appropriate, and coordinate care with a network of therapists. Beyond direct patient care, physicians engage in collaboration activities, which include conducting chart reviews, offering consultation support to Nurse Practitioners, and fulfilling supervision duties in states where formal collaboration agreements are mandatory. Practitioners maintain schedule autonomy for patient appointments while ensuring ongoing responsiveness for collaborative duties.
The position is fully remote and relies on UpLift's telemedicine software. UpLift handles administrative burdens such as credentialing and health plan enrollment. Physicians can stop seeing patients at any time, though collaborative agreements require a 120-day wind-down period. Compensation involves activity-based payments for patient care and collaboration tasks, including a specific rate for completed chart reviews, with exact earnings varying by state regulations.
