About the role
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 also earn $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.

Important to Know
This is a part-time, contract (1099) position — not a salaried employee role.
Physicians may set their own schedules for patient care; however, collaboration responsibilities require ongoing responsiveness.
Physicians may stop seeing patients at any time, but collaborative agreement responsibilities require a 120-day wind-down period to ensure continuity of care.
Compensation structure varies by state depending on collaboration requirements (capped vs. uncapped states).
UpLift will credential and enroll you with multiple health plans to expand access to insured patients.
All care is delivered remotely through UpLift’s telehealth platform.
All clinical decisions are made independently by licensed providers in accordance with state telehealth laws and professional standards.
