Remote Psychiatrist Collaborative Physician (MD)

About the role

At UpLift, we are redefining access to mental healthcare by leveraging technology to connect patients with therapists and psychiatric providers covered by their insurance plan. Despite the fact that 1 in 5 Americans struggle with mental health issues, only 40% receive care annually, and only 30% of therapists accept insurance. UpLift serves as the intermediary between patients, providers, and insurers, enabling patients to find the best care for their needs at an affordable price.

Responsibilities

• Conduct video consultations and communicate with patients via telemedicine.
• Assess, diagnose, and treat patients, including prescribing medication when clinically appropriate.
• Provide supervision and oversight to Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in states requiring collaborative agreements.
• Complete required chart reviews and provide timely consultation support to NPs.
• Maintain responsiveness for collaboration duties in accordance with state requirements and UpLift standards.
• Collaborate with UpLift’s network of therapists and other providers to ensure high-quality outcomes.
• Provide empathetic, evidence-based care while upholding UpLift’s clinical and service standards.
• Share product and workflow feedback with UpLift’s engineering and operations teams to help improve care delivery.

Requirements

• Board-certified Psychiatrist with active clinical experience.
• Active and unrestricted medical license in Ohio.
• Multi-state licensure strongly preferred.
• Experience supervising or collaborating with Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (e.g. NPs).
• Comfortable prescribing medication when clinically appropriate and permitted by state law.
• Skilled at using online tools and technology to deliver virtual care.
• Strong communication skills and ability to provide timely consultation support.
• Previous telemedicine experience is a plus.

Qualifications

• Medical License (Required)
• Location: Ohio

Benefits

This is a part-time, contract (1099) position — not a salaried employee role. Physicians may set their own schedules for patient care; however, collaboration responsibilities require ongoing responsiveness. Physicians may stop seeing patients at any time, but collaborative agreement responsibilities require a 120-day wind-down period to ensure continuity of care.

Pay

Compensation is paid on a per-activity basis and is not a guaranteed hourly wage or salary amount. Actual earnings vary based on state-requirements, completed activities, patient care activity, and other operational factors.

Schedule

This role is 100% remote, with care delivered via UpLift’s purpose-built telemedicine platform. Clinical decisions are made independently by licensed providers in accordance with state telehealth laws and professional standards.
