Physician: LifeMD

The Physician - 1099 role at LifeMD is a full-time remote telemedicine contract serving patients in the United States. LifeMD pays $145 per hour for clinical work that combines text-based and video-based consultations with virtual primary care and weight management. The role is open to a board-certified Family Medicine physician who has at least three years of primary care experience.

The physician prescribes medications, provides refills, educates patients about treatment plans, and follows ongoing care programs. The role also includes supervising or collaborating with Nurse Practitioners. Residence in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, or Tennessee is required, along with licensure in multiple states and prior GLP-1 prescribing experience. LifeMD's remote physician openings connect clinical work with a multi-state care model.

The application should identify Family Medicine board certification, qualifying state licenses, and prior GLP-1 prescribing experience. A clean background and medical malpractice history are also required.

The physician delivers care through text-based and video-based consultations. Each consultation includes clinical assessment, treatment education, and a personalized care plan. The role covers virtual primary care and weight loss programs, so the physician addresses both immediate concerns and longer-term treatment decisions.

Follow-up work continues after the initial consultation. The physician oversees patients enrolled in ongoing care programs, responds to clinical concerns, and provides medication refills when appropriate. Supervising or collaborating with Nurse Practitioners adds a clinical coordination responsibility to the direct patient work.

• Conduct text-based consultations.
• Conduct video-based consultations.
• Educate patients about treatments and personalized care plans.
• Oversee follow-ups for ongoing care programs.
• Prescribe medications and provide refills.
• Supervise or collaborate with Nurse Practitioners.

LifeMD's care model uses secure video consultations , phone calls, and online messaging to connect patients with licensed medical professionals. Virtual primary care includes acute concerns, chronic-condition management, routine checkups, preventive care, and medication management. The physician's clinical decisions remain tied to the patient's history, symptoms, treatment response, and care needs.

Weight management requires careful follow-up as treatment changes. The physician educates patients about the selected plan, monitors progress, evaluates concerns, and adjusts treatment when the clinical picture supports a change. Prior experience prescribing GLP-1 medications is a stated qualification for this role, while the underlying care model also includes specialized treatment programs.

Board certification in Family Medicine is required, along with at least three years of experience diagnosing and treating acute and chronic conditions in primary care. The role also calls for a clean background and medical malpractice history. Telemedicine experience is preferred, and the work requires a physician who is comfortable with clinical technology, organized documentation, and independent decision-making.

Multi-state practice requires attention to the rules that apply where each patient is located. The AAFP telehealth requirements guide explains that state rules govern licensure, consent, prescribing, professional standards, and medical-record duties. The physician must maintain the licenses and practice permissions needed for the states served through the role.

The contract uses full-time telemedicine consultations with flexible shifts. A remote schedule places the physician's examination, documentation, patient education, prescribing, and follow-up work inside a digital clinical workflow. Strong organization matters because each encounter can involve assessment, treatment explanation, medication decisions, and a later response to the patient's progress.

• LifeMD includes malpractice insurance coverage with the role.

The physician's background should also reflect the professional standards expected in primary care, including accurate records, appropriate escalation, and communication about the limits of remote evaluation. Critical or life-threatening symptoms require emergency services rather than a virtual appointment.
