UpLift – Redefining Access to Mental Healthcare

At UpLift, we believe mental health is just as important as physical health — and we're rethinking the mental healthcare model. UpLift is a multi-sided marketplace, applying technology to empower patients to find Therapists and Psychiatric providers covered by their insurance plan.

While 1 in 5 Americans struggle with mental health issues, only 40% of this group received care in the last year. At the same time, only 30% of therapists accept insurance. UpLift acts as the bridge between patient, provider, and insurer — empowering patients to find the best care for their needs at a price they can afford.

Why Join UpLift

  • Estimated Effective Hourly Earnings*:Earnings between $119 to $242 per hour is based on a 60-minute session assumption that includes a combination of patient visits and hourly equivalent CPT codes. Compensation for CPT codes can vary based on clinician’s license and state of licensure.
  • Expand access to care: Provide psychiatric services to individuals who otherwise may not have access to mental healthcare.
  • Collaborative model: Work hand-in-hand with UpLift’s network of licensed therapists to deliver world-class, evidence-based care.
  • All-in-one virtual platform: Focus on your patients — UpLift handles credentialing, enrollment, and platform operations.
  • Work from anywhere: This role is 100% remote, with care delivered via UpLift’s purpose-built telemedicine platform.
  • Flexible commitment: Part-time, 1099 contract position

What You’ll Do

  • Conduct video consultations and message with patients via telemedicine.
  • Assess, screen, diagnose, and prescribe medication as clinically appropriate.
  • Coordinate treatment planning and care delivery with UpLift’s network of therapists.
  • Provide empathetic, high-quality care and uphold UpLift’s clinical and service standards.
  • Share product and workflow feedback with UpLift’s engineering and operations teams to help improve care delivery.

Who We’re Looking For

  • At least one year of experience as a licensed Psychiatrist.
  • Active medical license in good standing.
  • Comfortable prescribing medication when clinically appropriate and permitted by state law.
  • Skilled at using online tools and technology to deliver virtual care.
  • Previous telemedicine experience is a plus.
  • Multiple state licenses and fluency in additional languages are strong advantages.

Important to Know

  • This is a part-time, contract (1099) position — not a salaried employee role.
  • UpLift will credential and enroll you with multiple health plans to expand access to insured patients.
  • All care is delivered remotely through UpLift’s telehealth platform.
  • All clinical decisions are made independently by licensed providers in accordance with state telehealth laws and professional standards.

License/Certification:

  • Medical License (Preferred)

Location:

  • United States (Required)
  • Work Location: Remote

*Estimated effective hourly earnings are for licensed Psychiatrists and are illustrative estimates derived from modeled assumptions, not a guaranteed hourly rate, wage, or salary. These estimates are calculated using assumptions regarding number of completed visits per hour, CPT code mix, and utilization of add-on codes (such as 90833) when clinically appropriate and properly documented. Actual earnings vary and are dependent on individual clinical decisions, case mix, scheduling availability, payer reimbursement, licensure, and geographic market factors.
