State Insights
Michigan at a Glance
Contract PMHNP positions in Michigan are typically defined-term W-2 engagements (90 days to 24 months) booked through staffing agencies, paying $90–$150 per hour with agency-provided malpractice. Distinct from 1099 independent contracting, contract roles preserve employer payroll-tax handling and often include short-term health coverage. Michigan grants restricted practice authority requiring physician supervision, and the state's low cost of living relative to the national average (index 83) directly shapes PMHNP compensation expectations. Top metros in Michigan are not currently federally designated mental health shortage areas, but regional psychiatric demand and reimbursement structure shape compensation. The 5 active postings reflect a smaller pool of openings for PMHNPs in the state.
Michigan requires a supervisory agreement between PMHNPs and physicians.
