UpLift & BetterHelp – 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
- Flexible earnings model*: Compensation includes both patient care and collaboration activities. Physicians can earn $25 per assigned supervision slot (in capped states) and $30 per completed chart review. Total monthly earnings may vary based on state coverage and activity.
- Expand access to care: Provide psychiatric services to individuals who otherwise may not have access to mental healthcare.
- Collaborative model: Support and supervise Nurse Practitioners (NPs) through formal collaboration agreements, including chart reviews and consultation.
- 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 with autonomy over your clinical schedule.
