Job description

We are looking for licensed Psychiatrists (MD/DO) to join our diverse network of contracted providers. Contracting with Rula is free of charge, has no minimum client requirements, and enables you to deliver high-quality patient care while also achieving your income goals. At Rula, we handle the administrative work (new client marketing, verifying insurance, credentialing, billing, support, EHR, audits, and compliance) so that you can focus on delivering great care for patients.

Who we are:

Rula is a comprehensive behavioral health solution, dedicated to making mental health care work for everyone. Rula takes a patient-first approach, where treatment is more accessible, personalized, and effective. With Rula, it’s easy to find a high-quality therapist or psychiatric clinician who accepts insurance and is actively accepting new patients.

We are deeply committed to providing high-quality care that improves the lives of patients, investing in the providers who deliver that care, and always operating in an ethical and compliant manner.

What we're solving:

Over 65 million Americans have a treatable mental health issue — that’s 1 in 5 people. Today it’s difficult to find a provider, and for those with complicated conditions, it’s nearly impossible to find coordinated care. There’s a good chance someone close to you could have used the help, even if it wasn’t obvious to the people around them. We’re here to fix this.

Our mission:

Rula's mission is to make mental healthcare work for everyone.

Education & Credentials:

• Board-certified Psychiatrist (MD/DO) with an active, unrestricted state medical license
• Valid, unrestricted state specific DEA registration with Schedules II-V.

Clean Professional Record:

• No adverse actions, disciplinary history, or license restrictions with any state medical board, hospital, or credentialing body in the past 3 to 5 years.
• No suspension, exclusion, or debarment from federal healthcare programs (Medicare/Medicaid).

Clinical & Technical Competence:

• Proven track record of delivering high-quality, evidence-based psychiatric care and safety planning.
• Comfortable and proficient delivering outpatient care via telehealth (including EMR navigation, virtual rapport building, and remote crisis management).
• Commitment to timely, individualized, evidence-based documentation for every patient

Competitive, Reliable Compensation

• Integrated Psychotherapy Add-On:

Additional compensation (+$65) available for eligible follow-up sessions when medically necessary add-on psychotherapy (CPT 90833) is delivered and documented in accordance with clinical guidelines and CMS billing standards.

• Financial Security & Protection:

Hassle-Free Bi-Weekly Pay: Direct deposit every two weeks. Rula handles all billing, collections, and claim denials so you are paid reliably for your time.

Late Cancellation & No-Show Protection: Full compensation for your scheduled time when a confirmed patient late-cancels (<24 hrs notice) or no-shows. (Note: Unconfirmed appointment holds and cancellations made with >24 hours notice are excluded).

As an independent contractor, the amount of time you allocate to working with Rula is entirely up to you!

You will:

• Provide clinical assessments for patients seeking mental healthcare, including diagnostic assessments, psychiatric workups, and treatment planning, including medication management
• Work with individuals who are struggling with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction
• Have access to our EHR & telehealth platform
• Receive support from our Support and Care Coordination teams
• Have adequate time to engage with patients - half-hour sessions for follow-up visits and 1 hour for initial consultations
• Be free to focus on patient care. Rula Mental Health takes care of all the credentialing, billing, and marketing

Our clinic offers:

• Flexibility: You set your own schedule and determine how many patients you would like to see. You can adjust this at any time.
• See patients quickly: Rula takes care of the insurance credentialing process. With your help, we can get you paneled and ready to see patients in as little as 30 days. This includes setting up your Rula profile and educating you on our guidelines and HIPAA-compliant EHR system.
• Practice support: We manage the administrative side of private practice, including marketing, verifying client insurance benefits, and handling the invoicing/billing process so you can accept insurance without ever interacting with it directly. Further, we have a dedicated Support team so you and your patients have the help you need when you need it.
• Clinical leadership: Rula's executive team includes a licensed provider engaged in business decisions and planning, ensuring the provider perspective is always included.
• Fully compliant and ethical: We are fully compliant with HIPAA and have a Medical Records team to handle all releases, audits, or record requests. Our practices align with your professional Code of Ethics and all regulatory requirements.
• Clinical support: Our Care Coordination team manages Higher Level of Care requests for your patients.
