Nurse Practitioner Telemedicine - Occupational Health in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
Career Fit & Work-Life Balance: This is a part-time, per-clearance W-2 role — ideal for NPs seeking a low-commitment supplemental income stream alongside a primary practice. With no minimum appointment guarantee, income is entirely variable and dependent on patient demand, which is a notable risk for anyone relying on this as a primary income source.
Compensation Benchmarks: At $25 per clearance with 10–15 minute visits, the implied hourly rate is $75–$150/hour — competitive with telehealth per-encounter rates in occupational health settings. Typical occupational health NP salaries in the US range from $110,000–$140,000 annually full-time; this per-diem model rewards efficiency but offers no benefits or guaranteed volume.
Skills Developed: This role strengthens:
- Occupational and employee health clinical competencies
- Telemedicine consultation and async documentation workflows
- EMR efficiency and fitness-for-duty assessment
- Multi-state licensure portfolio management
Green Flags: W-2 status (not 1099) offers some employment protections; administrative support is provided; the asynchronous records review component adds schedule flexibility.
Red Flags: No collaborating physician provided — NPs must arrange this independently where required, adding cost and administrative burden. No guaranteed volume means unpredictable earnings. This is best treated as a supplemental gig, not a career-building primary role. Multistate licensure expansion (NJ, CA) is flagged as a growth opportunity but is not currently formalized.
Headquarters: New York, New York, United States
Location: Remote – New York State.
Employment Type: Part-Time, W-2.
Compensation: $25 per completed clearance review.
Schedule: Flexible, self-managed availability.
About the Opportunity
Photon Medical Group is seeking New York State-licensed Nurse Practitioners to conduct remote pre-employment health clearances through our ClearToStart platform.
As the program expands, we are particularly interested in multistate-licensed NPs, especially those licensed in New York, New Jersey, and California, who may qualify for additional opportunities as services expand.
Providers manage their own availability through our EMR, allowing patients to schedule appointments within their selected time blocks.
Position Highlights

- Perform asynchronous records reviews and document clinical findings in the EMR.
Qualifications
Required
- Active, unrestricted New York State Nurse Practitioner license.

- Own reliable laptop or computer, reliable internet connection, and a private telemedicine workspace.
Preferred
- Active NP licenses in multiple states, particularly NY, NJ, and CA.

- Providers enter their availability directly into the EMR, and patients schedule within those designated blocks.
