OVERVIEW

We are seeking a Board-Certified Telemedicine Psychiatrist to deliver high-quality, integrated psychiatry and behavioral health services within a value-based care model. This role is ideal for physicians motivated by improving outcomes, reducing total cost of care, and delivering proactive, longitudinal patient management through a virtual-first platform.

Care is delivered through scheduled and on-demand encounters, with all interactions documented in the Doctronic platform.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Deliver whole-person, longitudinal care that integrates primary care and behavioral health, with a focus on measurable outcomes.

- Manage acute and chronic conditions, emphasizing the reduction of avoidable ED visits, hospitalizations, and specialty leakage.

- Conduct behavioral health screening, diagnosis, and front-line management (e.g., anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use), integrating care into overall treatment plans.

- Prescribe and manage both medical and psychotropic medications in accordance with evidence-based guidelines.

- Utilize data-driven, measurement-based care (e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7, utilization patterns) to guide clinical decisions and track patient progress.

- Identify and address high-risk patients and rising-risk populations through proactive outreach and care interventions.

- Perform risk stratification and care planning to improve quality metrics and patient outcomes.

- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary care team (behavioral health specialists, care coordinators, and support staff) to ensure coordinated, high-value care delivery.

- Document all patient interactions and care plans in the Doctronic EHR, ensuring accuracy for quality reporting and value-based reimbursement.

- Maintain compliance with HIPAA, telehealth regulations, and state-specific prescribing requirements.

REQUIREMENTS

- Active, unrestricted medical license in at least 40 U.S. states (50 states preferred).

- Board Certification in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine required.

- Demonstrated experience in integrated care delivery, including management of common behavioral health conditions within a primary care setting.

- Strong understanding of value-based care principles, including quality metrics, utilization management, and total cost of care.

- Experience managing chronic conditions and high-risk patient populations in a longitudinal care model.

- Comfortable prescribing and managing psychotropic medications within a primary care scope.

- Experience with telemedicine platforms and delivering high-quality virtual care.

- Excellent communication skills with a patient-centered, outcomes-driven approach.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience in value-based care environments (e.g., Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, ACOs, employer-sponsored populations).

- Familiarity with quality measures such as HEDIS, STAR ratings, and other performance-based metrics.

- Training or experience in behavioral health, addiction medicine, or collaborative care models (CoCM).

- Experience with data-driven care, population health tools, and outcomes tracking.

- Multi-state licensure via IMLCC strongly preferred.

- Prior experience in a virtual-first or digital health organization.

SCHEDULE & COMMITMENT

- Minimum weekly scheduling of 40 hours required.

- Must be willing to work evenings, weekends, and occasional overnight shifts to support 24/7 patient access.
