Tessahealth is hiring PMHNPs who want to focus on clinical care, not paperwork.
WHO WE ARE
Tessahealth is an outpatient psychiatry and therapy practice providing 100% telehealth care across IL, WA, OR, AZ, NM, MT, ND, and DE, with more states coming soon. We accept PPO commercial insurance (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, UHC, Oscar, Optum, and others), and our patients show high retention, consistent follow-ups, and stronger earnings for providers.
Our in-house patient support team is your dedicated admin staff, handling patient communications, scheduling, billing, insurance verifications, FMLA and disability forms, prior authorizations, and pharmacy coordination. You focus on patient care, with support any time you need it. That's the model.
THE ROLE
We're looking for PMHNPs to provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, therapy, and ADHD testing via telehealth for adults and teens 13+. Our patient panel is PPO commercial insurance, which means fewer no-shows and stronger reimbursement.
Hiring states: Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico.
Licensees of other full practice authority states (NY, MN, NV, CA, etc) are also welcome to apply.
Bilingual Spanish speakers are strongly prioritized. We also welcome candidates who speak Vietnamese, Mandarin, Korean, Tagalog, or other languages.
COMPENSATION
Estimated annual earnings: $175,000 to $400,000+, depending on caseload, experience, and licensure. There is no cap to earnings. You earn a competitive percentage of collected insurance reimbursements for each patient you see as a 1099 independent contractor. The exact fee-for-service split is negotiable and discussed during the interview based on your experience, caseload commitment, and number of active state licenses.
WHAT YOU GET
100% Telehealth: Work from anywhere, no commute, see patients in multiple states with multistate licensure.
Schedule Control: Set your own hours and patient load. Full-time (8 to 15+ sessions per day, no cap) or part-time options available. Most providers settle into the 8 to 12 range.
Administrative Support: A dedicated medical assistant team handles all operations, including scheduling, billing, FMLA/disability paperwork, pharmacy issues, prior authorizations, and patient communications, so you can focus on clinical care.
Technology: DrChrono EHR, Google Workspace (fully HIPAA compliant), AI Scribe and productivity tools, secure telehealth platform, e-prescribing tools, clinical reference resources, and hands-on training.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Work alongside in-house PMHNPs and therapists. Our combined treatment model (psychiatry + therapy under one roof) is a core part of how we deliver care.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- MSN, DNP, or post-master's certificate in PMHNP from an accredited program
- Current, unrestricted APRN license in one or more of our hiring states (IL, WA, OR, AZ, NM)
- Board certification as a PMHNP-BC

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
