Role Description

Legion Health is seeking clinically excellent, patient-centered psychiatrists to collaborate with and supervise psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners through secure telehealth workflows. This is a nationwide, remote, part-time contractor opportunity. Assignments are matched to Legion's operating needs, the physician's licensed jurisdictions, and applicable state law.

• Provide clinical supervision, review charts, guide complex clinical decisions, and authorize prescriptions when permitted and appropriate under state and federal law and Legion's clinical protocols.
• Combine sound independent judgment with a practical, responsive approach to supporting excellent PMHNPs.

Qualifications

• Active, unrestricted physician license (MD or DO) in at least one U.S. licensing jurisdiction.
• Active DEA individual practitioner registration or another valid prescribing authority that is applicable to the work.
• Board certification or board eligibility in psychiatry.
• Comfort supervising nurse practitioners remotely, reviewing charts, and answering clinical questions.
• Comfort exercising independent judgment regarding prescriptions, including controlled substances, in compliance with state and federal law.
• Willingness to obtain additional state licenses when mutually agreed and supported by Legion.
• Commitment to a minimum one-year tenure with the team.
• Strong clinical assessment, diagnostic, medication-management, communication, and interpersonal skills.
• Comfort using technology, telehealth tools, and electronic health record systems.
• Commitment to patient-centered, compassionate, evidence-based care.

Benefits

• Flexibility: Set a predictable part-time schedule that works with your other commitments.
• Work from home: Collaborate with PMHNPs through secure telehealth and clinical systems.
• Clinical autonomy: Exercise independent medical judgment within clear, evidence-based protocols.
• PMHNP acquisition: Legion recruits and vets the PMHNPs you support.
• Monthly pay: Compensation is paid monthly.
• Legal protection: Legion provides malpractice insurance coverage for work performed on Legion's behalf.
• Licensure support: Legion may reimburse approved fees for obtaining additional state licenses required by Legion.
• Administrative support: Focus on clinical supervision and mentorship rather than scheduling, billing, prior authorizations, or pharmacy coordination.
• Clinical resources: Access best-in-class EHR, communication, diagnostic, and clinical-reference tools.
• Community of clinical excellence: Work alongside highly selective PMHNPs and psychiatrists committed to responsible, compassionate care.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with experienced PMHNPs treating low- and medium-acuity psychiatry patients using evidence-based approaches.
• Conduct chart reviews and provide timely guidance on diagnoses, treatment plans, medication management, and clinical escalations.
• Review and authorize prescriptions, including controlled substances when legally permitted and clinically appropriate.
• Be available during agreed working hours and at the end of PMHNP shifts when required by applicable state rules.
• Mentor clinicians and reinforce Legion's clinical standards, documentation expectations, and responsible-prescribing protocols.
• Help Legion expand access to high-quality psychiatric care across the United States.
