PMHNP California License

The opportunity:

Location requirement:
This opportunity is only open to Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) who hold an active, unrestricted license to practice in the state of California. This is an independent contractor (1099) opportunity. We are looking for licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNP) to join our diverse network of contracted providers. Contracting with Rula is free of charge, has no minimum client requirements, and enables you to deliver high-quality patient care while also achieving your income goals.

At Rula, we handle the administrative work (new client marketing, verifying insurance, credentialing, billing, support, EHR, audits, and compliance) so that you can focus on delivering great care for patients.

Rula is a comprehensive behavioral health solution, dedicated to making mental health care work for everyone. Rula takes a patient-first approach, where treatment is more accessible, personalized, and effective. With Rula, 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.

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.

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