Pros

Insurance benefits are fully covered.

Cons

Adding prescribing providers rather than retaining the ones they have is the sole focus of the company. Pure Silicon Valley model intended to maximize profits for those at the top on the backs of those that do all the actual work. Major funding provided by a venture capital group, so there is clear influence from non-clinical players shaping the course of decisions made. Goal = add 2 clinicians for every 1 you lose = expansion = $UCCE$$. Perhaps this works when you're selling smart watches. Not so much when clinical care delivery or provider retention and the care continuity that comes with are concerned. As soon as the Dept of Health and Human Services rolls back the emergency mandate allowing controlled substances to be prescribed across state lines along with the Ryan Haight act, the platform will implode.

Pros

The work is straightforward. The clients are mostly reasonable. I prescribe a lot of stimulants in states where I can prescribe them. The electronic medical record and the resources contained within make it easy enough to do it. A good job at this. They offer the use of an AI scribe to help with documentation. You can be involved as much or as little as you want to in activities beyond direct patient care. Talkiatry chooses to make its money through the use of the psychotherapy add-on code. You're incentivized to spend time talking with your patients, which seems like a win for everyone.

Cons

Figuring out how the performance portion of the pay structure works is challenging and takes several months. You also take a significant hit in taxes because of the the back that the performance portion of your salary is paid as a bonus which is taxed at 30%. This is higher than the base pay tax rate. I'm hopeful that I'll see the significant tax return next April.
