Overview

About Path

Path is a healthcare company powered by technology, dedicated to making mental health care work for everyone. Path takes a patient-first approach, where treatment is more accessible, personalized, and effective. With Path, 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

Path’s mission is to make mental healthcare work for everyone.

The Opportunity

We’re excited to be expanding our telehealth clinic where providers focus on delivering high-quality care directly, without being overworked. We’re looking for high-quality board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNP) to join our diverse community.

Salary range: $140,000 to $280,000k*

*Our target compensation is $187,000 for clinicians that are billing 33 clinical hours a week and taking all of their paid time off. The range is a function of how many weekly visits are done, documentation and billing practices reflecting complexity and services provided, and paid time off utilized.

Our Clinic

We’re an organization committed to building a comprehensive, modern psychiatric clinic with a north star of delivering patient care at the highest quality standards. Our clinic was designed with the needs of PMHNPs in mind; at Path, you can count on end-to-end clinical and administrative support that gives you the time, space, and autonomy to care for your patients. We don’t cut corners and we take seriously our responsibilities as a telehealth-based organization to be ethical, compliant, and to put patient safety first.

What sets us apart

• Comprehensive support: Our team of RNs, Medical Assistants, crisis coordinators, Collaborating MDs, and patient schedulers work alongside you to ensure your time is spent on the work only someone at your license level can perform.
• Flexibility: At Path, you get to work as a part of a team while retaining your autonomy. You choose when you work, between 7am and 7pm PST, 7 days a week from the clinical environment that works best for you.
• Work/life balance: We know great patient care starts with healthy, engaged clinicians. We set sustainable clinical hour standards, cap daily intakes, and build in time for meetings and documentation.
• Clinical Leadership: Our leadership team includes multiple licensed, practicing clinicians, so you can feel confident this organization is guided by clinical best practice.
• Innovation: We’re on a mission to raise the standard of care, and are building the technology and tools to empower our clinicians and patients across every step of their care journey.

We equip clinicians with what you need to thrive

• Full administrative support: We manage the administrative tasks, so you can focus on what matters most. We take care of finding patients, getting them scheduled, and handling everything related to insurance and billing. Plus, our dedicated support team is on hand to answer any questions you or your patients have.
• Advanced technology for efficient documentation: Every Path PMHNP gets a subscription to a medical autoscribe to aid in note-taking. With this tool, our team has seen up to an 80% reduction in documentation time.
• Coordinated care: Our in-house team helps to ensure your patients get the help they need. Whether that’s a higher level of care escalation or a rematch to another clinician, you can rely on a dedicated team of experts.
• Investments in your development: We’re building a culture of collaboration and continuous learning. In addition to an annual stipend for continuing education, our team works to share best practice and insights to improve the quality of care for Path patients.
