Compensation is a $50,000 base plus an $80 incentive for each completed session beyond the 17-hour baseline. The schedule is anchored in peak core hours, with two onsite days. The 1099 contractor arrangement pays a flat rate of $85 per completed clinical session and requires at least 10 open patient-care hours per week to achieve a baseline of eight completed clinical hours.
