The Role
Berry Street is expanding into GLP-1 prescribing and is seeking board-certified Physicians (MD or DO) to join our independent contractor prescriber network. You will provide telehealth clinical evaluations, prescribe and titrate GLP-1 medications for weight management patients, and collaborate with our RD team - all fully remote, on a schedule you control.

- Prescribe and titrate FDA-approved GLP-1 medications (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, etc.)
- Manage and supervise follow-up visits, dose titration, side effect counseling, and lab review through a mix of synchronous visits and async chart review, per applicable state law
- Review Berry Street RD care summaries before prescribing encounters and reference documented lifestyle modification history in your clinical documentation

- Respond to PA appeals requiring clinical input within 48 hours and support renewal PA documentation every 6-12 months
