About the role:

Foodsmart is seeking 1099 Registered Dietitians (RDs) to support the comprehensive nutrition care mission of Foodsmart Nutrition Network, which is grounded in removing the financial barriers in accessing and affording healthy food. Our Foodsmart RDs leverage Foodsmart's digital platform to provide a broad range of nutrition and health-related consultations, ultimately helping our members stretch their food dollar, eat healthier, and reduce the risk of chronic disease.

In this role, you'll have the ability to truly change the lives of the members we serve, many of whom are Medicaid members and from underserved communities. You will tackle the root causes of food and nutrition insecurity. This means that you will provide MNT in multiple capacities, including supporting your patient in accessing and using SNAP benefits, affording and buying groceries digitally on Foodsmart's marketplace, and building healthier eating and shopping habits for life. Foodsmart removes the barriers that prevent so many people from eating healthier--so that you, as an RD, can have a major impact on each and every member.

Role Expectations

• You typically have at least 10 weekly hours of availability for patients (weekends and evenings are OK!)
• You are completing at least 6 follow-up visits with your patients
• You are receiving an NPS of 80% and above
• You find value in developing lasting relationships with your patients to support them towards sustainable behavior change and improved health outcomes
• Note: our 1099 contractors are required to carry professional liability insurance

You Will:

• Provide individualized medical nutrition therapy (MNT) via remote sessions to patients with a variety of health and lifestyle needs
• Document care in electronic medical record according to Nutrition Care Process
• Assist patients in getting the most utility out of Foodsmart's digital platform
• Manage a panel of clients/patients with a variety of chronic health conditions and backgrounds
• Communicate effectively and empathetically with clients/patients through HIPAA-compliant video calls and electronic messaging

You Have:

• Active credentialing as a Registered Dietitian by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) and Licensed Dietitian
• Must have at least one state licensure
• Willingness to apply for additional licensure in at least one other state
• Ability to work in the U.S.
• High speed internet and a smart phone

Nice to Have:

• Multilingual (native level) language capabilities
• Multiple active state licenses or certifications
• Experience delivering services via a telehealth platform

Compensation

• $48 for a 1-hour visit; $12 per 15-minute unit for Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT). Most of our visits are scheduled for one hour.
• $52 for those bilingual in English/Spanish or English/Vietnamese ($13 per unit)

$48 - $52 an hour
