Psychiatrist (MD/DO) - Remote
About The Position
BetterHelp is seeking licensed psychiatrists to provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care remotely through its telemedicine platform.

BetterHelp supports credentialing, payer enrollment, and platform operations, while providers make clinical decisions independently in accordance with applicable state telehealth laws, regulations, and professional standards.

The posting describes estimated effective hourly earnings of $119–$242 as illustrative, modeled estimates rather than a guaranteed rate, wage, or salary. Actual earnings vary based on clinical decisions, case mix, scheduling availability, payer reimbursement, licensure, geographic market factors, and other considerations.
