Pros

Being able to work from home.

Cons

Pay above your low base salary remains low unless you are working many hours above your 40 hours. Management has hung onto this ridiculous pay model, "tweaking it" a bit here and there. If you take PTO and your 3 month average patients seen is less than 85%, you will get a much lower pay. A no show appointment becomes your loss, even it's due to patient or company tech issues. They always promise they are working to make things better. Doesn't happen. If a change for the positive is made for psychiatrists, they add something else to your plate. Like, taking away a duty from PCCs and handing it over to the psychiatrists. Forget about having your patients screened, They have reduced that to a few bare bones questions. Forget about being able to choose the patient population you want to treat. They have changed to opting you in to diagnoses, even if you aren't comfortable with certain patients. The C Suite has grown substantially in the last 3 years. Too much money, greed and power at the top. Psychiatrists are still treated as cash cows.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and concerns with us. We are disappointed to hear your expectations aren't being met. Typically, there are explanations as to why a psychiatrist is not earning the compensation they would expect. Please make sure you are communicating such concerns to your Director of Operations, as some of what you have explained on this thread is incorrect, pertaining to PTO & utilization and no-show appointments. Please allow us the opportunity to evaluate what might be inhibiting your earning potential.

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.
