Job Description

Talkiatry was built for Psychiatrists, by Psychiatrists and offers the stability and support of a hospital group, with the autonomy of a private practice. Talkiatry is now interviewing remote BC/BE Psychiatrists interested in joining us as we continue to expand across Washington DC and neighboring markets.

Talkiatry transforms psychiatry into the accessible, human, and empowering experience it should be, for patients and providers alike. We were co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist to solve the problems both groups face in accessing and providing the highest quality mental healthcare.

60% of adults in the U.S. with a diagnosable mental illness go untreated every year because care is inaccessible, while 45% of clinicians are out of network with insurers because reimbursement rates are low and paperwork is unduly burdensome. With innovative technology and a human-centered philosophy, we provide patients with the care they need—and allow psychiatrists to focus on why they got into medicine.

Our Promises:

• Market-leading compensation . Competitive base salary coupled with productivity-based income. You retain a high percentage of your earnings; we pay at the top of the market.

• The efficiency of Talkiatry’s practice benefits you. Our single specialty focus, scale and technology allows for better reimbursement rates while maintaining lower practice expenses which enables us to pass the economic benefits to our psychiatrists.
• Custom developed technology driven solutions for psychiatry including an integrated EMR which supports provider-to-patient messaging, telemedicine, direct lab integration and proprietary tools to track and gain insight into your patients’ outcomes.
• Select a patient population according to your own criteria and preferences . Our patient intake process is robust and can be adjusted in real time to allow you to balance the acuity and diagnoses of the patient population you are treating.
• You decide what allotted time is appropriate for your patients. Minimum of 60 minutes for intakes and 30 minutes on follow up visits.
• Strong in-house referral network that allows you to refer patients to specialists and therapists whose practice exclusively supports patients our psychiatrists are actively treating. Best of all, clinical information is shared seamlessly through our EMR.
