Psychiatrist (MD/DO) - Remote
About The Position
BetterHelp is hiring a remote Psychiatrist (MD/DO) to deliver compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care through its telemedicine platform. BetterHelp connects patients with therapists and psychiatric providers covered by their insurance plans and supports credentialing, payer enrollment, and platform operations so providers can focus on patient care. The position is a flexible, part-time independent contractor (1099) opportunity, not a salaried employee role. Care is delivered entirely remotely, and providers make clinical decisions independently in accordance with applicable state telehealth laws, regulations, and professional standards. Estimated effective hourly earnings are $119–$242, based on modeled assumptions involving completed visits, CPT code mix, and appropriate, documented add-on codes. These estimates are illustrative and are not guaranteed pay; actual earnings vary based on clinical decisions, case mix, scheduling availability, payer reimbursement, licensure, geographic market factors, and other considerations.
