Pomelo Care • Fayetteville, NC

4d • $80 - $100 • Remote

About The Position

Pomelo Care is expanding its network of experienced women’s mental health specialists to provide compassionate virtual care for people navigating midlife, perimenopause, and menopause. Specialists work with autonomy to set their schedules as part of an integrated care model alongside each patient’s medical provider and registered dietitian. Pomelo supports the independent practice by handling patient matching, scheduling, commercial payer credentialing, and billing, and by providing documentation tools and optional clinical consultations, provider forums, and clinical updates.

The role offers competitive per-visit compensation, with approximate earnings equivalent to $80–$100 per active visit hour; rates vary by visit type, length, and timing. A minimum commitment of 10 patient-facing hours per week is required, but Pomelo does not guarantee a minimum number of visits, patients, or compensation. Contractors are not eligible for employee benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, workers’ compensation, or unemployment benefits.
