Job Description
We're building a telehealth practice supporting both Medicare and non-Medicare patients. Nurse practitioners in this role conduct independent clinical telehealth encounters, evaluating patients, determining medical necessity, and issuing orders within their full scope of practice. This is a flat-fee, per-encounter contract role, not a staff position. Training on call conduct and documentation is provided.
Responsibilities
- Conduct independent telehealth encounters with patients
- Perform clinical evaluation and document medical necessity per payer documentation standards
- Issue orders and prescriptions within scope of practice and state law
- Maintain complete, compliant clinical documentation for each encounter
- Respond to documentation requests in the event of audit or claims review
Requirements
- Active, unrestricted NP license with full practice authority in your state
- Currently employed by or contracted with an agency that provides in-home services strongly preferred
- Must have your own EMR, with the ability to add PeteDME's clinical templates
- Completed any applicable transition-to-practice hours required for independent practice
- Active NPI number
- Board certification in good standing
- No exclusions from federal healthcare programs (OIG/SAM)
- Current malpractice coverage (occurrence-form or claims-made with tail coverage), or willingness to obtain
- Comfortable with telehealth platforms and independent, high-volume encounter work
- Prior experience with Medicare and commercial payer documentation requirements a plus
Contract Structure
- Independent contractor (1099) — not an employment relationship
- Written agreement, fixed term
- Flat fee per completed encounter, set in advance, not tied to clinical outcome or ordering decision
- Credentialing and license verification required prior to first encounter
Please submit your resume/CV along with the states in which you currently hold active NP licensure, and answers to the screening questions below.
