Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner - Remote (1099 Independent Contractor) ID-3364

Full Job Description

Who we are

Rula is a comprehensive behavioral health solution, dedicated to making mental health care work for everyone. Rula takes a patient-first approach, where treatment is more accessible, personalized, and effective. With Rula, it’s easy to find a high-quality therapist or psychiatric clinician who accepts insurance and is actively accepting new patients.

We are deeply committed to providing high-quality care that improves the lives of patients, investing in the providers who deliver that care, and always operating in an ethical and compliant manner.

What we're solving

Over 65 million Americans have a treatable mental health issue — that’s 1 in 5 people. Today it’s difficult to find a provider, and for those with complicated conditions, it’s nearly impossible to find coordinated care. There’s a good chance someone close to you could have used the help, even if it wasn’t obvious to the people around them. We’re here to fix this.

Our mission

Rula's mission is to make mental healthcare work for everyone.

Minimum qualifications:

  • 1+ years as a psychiatric nurse practitioner with experience with mental health assessment, diagnosis, triage, managing common psychiatric medication and treatment plans, and managing crisis situations
  • An unrestricted license and valid DEA number registered in the state you’d like to work with Rula. Click here to view the list of states in which we're currently seeking to partner with new providers.
  • Independent licensure and/or working with collaborating MD, as required by state law
  • Board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)
  • Registration with state Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP)
  • Current certificate of liability insurance
  • No suspension/exclusion/debarment from participation in federal healthcare programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP)
  • No adverse actions by any nursing board, hospital or other credentialing body in the past 3 years
  • A master's or doctoral degree from an accredited university or graduate program in psychiatric mental health nursing
  • The ability to provide telehealth

Compensation details:

  • Per session payment of $120 per initial visit (60 min) and $80 per follow-up visit (30 min)
  • Additional $40 payment for 90833 coding
  • Direct deposit every two weeks with no need to worry about unpaid claims
  • No-show protection: Rula pays you 100% of your time even when the patient no-shows, cancels late, or the claim is denied

As an independent contractor, the amount of time you allocate to working with Rula is entirely up to you!
