About the role
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.
You will 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. We are looking for psychiatrists who combine sound independent judgment with a practical, responsive approach to supporting excellent PMHNPs.

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.

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.

Additional information
Location: Remote within the United States, with occasional optional or role-related in-person events.

Compensation: $1,000 per month for each full-time nurse practitioner (20+ hours/week) and $500 per month for each part-time nurse practitioner (<20 hours/week) supervised. Total monthly compensation depends on the number and mix of nurse practitioners supervised, applicable state law, and Legion's operational needs.
