Career & Market Insight

This role offers a distinctive model for mental health clinicians seeking autonomy without the overhead of private practice. Here's what career-minded providers should know:

Compensation benchmarking: At ~$60/initial and ~$40/follow-up for MDs, a full-time equivalent pace (30 patients/week) could yield roughly $120,000–$160,000 annually — competitive with employed telehealth roles but without benefits like health insurance, retirement contributions, or malpractice coverage, which 1099 contractors must self-fund. PMHNPs earning $30–$45/visit would see lower totals, potentially $70,000–$100,000 at comparable volume.

Skills developed:

  • Telehealth clinical workflow efficiency — a growing and marketable competency
  • Experience with AI-assisted documentation tools and integrated EMR/PDMP systems
  • High-volume outpatient psychiatric practice across ADHD, anxiety, depression, and OCD

Green flags: Administrative burden is genuinely minimized; no billing, scheduling, or staffing responsibilities. The proprietary tech stack and low no-show rates suggest a mature operational model.

Red flags to consider: As a 1099 role, you receive no employee benefits (no PTO, no health insurance, no malpractice coverage from employer). Volume-based pay can be unpredictable. Multi-state licensing is preferred, which adds annual renewal costs providers must budget for.

Best suited for established clinicians wanting supplemental income or a flexible primary practice — less ideal as a first post-training position without a benefits safety net.

MEDvidi is seeking experienced Telehealth Mental Health Providers to join our growing team. This is a fully remote, 1099 contractor opportunity offering flexibility, strong patient demand, and a highly supported clinical environment.

At MEDvidi, we provide comprehensive mental health evaluations and treatment for adult patients experiencing conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and mild-to-moderate OCD.

We're reimagining how care is delivered. Here's what sets us apart:

  • Full administrative support – no need to hire or manage staff; dedicated assistants handle scheduling, patient communication, and logistics
  • Streamlined technology – proprietary EMR with integrated PDMP and e-prescribing tools
  • Reduced administrative burden – automated workflows and AI-supported documentation tools
  • No software costs – our platform is fully provided at no cost to you
  • Low no-show rates – consistent patient flow and reliable earnings
  • Flexible scheduling – build your own schedule with the ability to increase volume over time

Compensation:

This is a 1099 contractor role with payment per completed appointment:

  • Physicians (MD/DO):
    • Initial evaluations (30 min): ~$60 per visit
    • Follow-ups (15 min): ~$40 per visit
  • Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs):
    • Initial evaluations (30 min): ~$45 per visit
    • Follow-ups (15 min): ~$30 per visit

Consistent availability and schedule optimization can significantly increase total earnings.

At MEDvidi, our mission is to make mental health care more accessible, affordable, and stigma-free. We leverage technology, clinical expertise, and operational support to empower providers and improve patient outcomes across the U.S.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations via telehealth
  • Review patient medical history, symptoms, medications, and relevant background
  • Diagnose and treat conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and OCD
  • Develop and implement individualized treatment plans
  • Prescribe medications, including controlled substances, in accordance with clinical and regulatory guidelines
  • Provide patient education on treatment plans, medication usage, and follow-up care
  • Maintain timely and accurate clinical documentation in the EMR
  • Ensure completion of chart notes and prescriptions within required timeframes
  • Collaborate with clinical and operations teams to support patient care and continuity

Requirements

  • Board Certified Physician (MD/DO) or Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)
  • Active and unrestricted medical license (multi-state preferred)
  • Active DEA registration
  • Minimum 2 years of clinical experience in mental health treatment
  • Experience prescribing controlled substances
  • Strong clinical judgment and comfort managing common outpatient psychiatric conditions
  • Ability to work a minimum of ~15 hours per week (preferred for patient continuity)
