Schedule & Engagement

This is a fully remote 1099 independent contractor opportunity, with services anticipated at up to approximately 20 hours per week based on patient volume and program needs. The primary focus will be Comprehensive Behavioral Health services.

We are particularly interested in clinicians who are already established as independent practitioners through their own LLC or other business entity and are interested in growing their patient panel alongside Avail Health's programs.

As patient volume and programs grow, opportunities for expanded services and additional hours may become available. Avail Health may also consider a future W-2 employment opportunity based on organizational needs and mutual interest; future employment is not guaranteed.
