Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Remote; Alaska Residents

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

Remote. Alaska residents only.

$160,000 to $195,000 per year in total compensation

• Full-time means 36 scheduled patient-care hours per week. Documentation time is built into the work week, not added on top of it.
• No call. No nights. No weekends. Your time off is actually off.
• 1-hour initial evaluations and 30-minute follow-ups. We do not run 15-minute med checks, and we do not want you to.
• Alaska providers caring for Alaskans. You will live in the state you serve. Fully remote from anywhere in Alaska.
• W-2 employee. Base salary plus production-based income, totaling $160,000 to $195,000.
• Healthie EHR with Nabla AI documentation, so your notes are largely written by the time the visit ends.
• Direct access to experienced subspecialty psychiatrists for mentorship and case guidance, plus a clinical pharmacist on staff.

Alaska has some of the lowest per-capita access to psychiatric care in the country. Patients in rural counties wait months for an appointment, then drive hours to keep it. Many never make the drive.

Frontier Psychiatry exists to close that gap. Our Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners carry that work. You will hold your own panel, evaluate and treat a broad range of psychiatric conditions, and give patients timely care they could not otherwise get.

We are hiring an Alaskan-based provider on purpose. Telehealth makes it easy to beam a clinician in from anywhere, and plenty of companies do exactly that. We think care is better when the person delivering it knows the towns, the winters, the distances, and the local resources a patient can actually reach. If you live here, you already understand what your patients are describing.

This is direct clinical work with a clear purpose behind it.

This is a full-time, W-2 position.

Full-time is defined as 36 scheduled patient-care hours per week. Those hours are the appointment slots on your calendar. The remaining hours in your standard work week are yours for documentation, refills, care coordination, and required meetings.

We say this plainly because clinicians have been burned by postings that do not.

• Initial evaluations are 1 hour. Follow-ups are 30 minutes.
• We discourage 15-minute med checks. Short visits move volume and produce worse care, and we have built the schedule to avoid them.
• No call, no after-hours coverage, no weekend rotation.
• Weekly Provider Rounds and a monthly All-Staff meeting, both inside the work week.

• Evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients across a broad range of psychiatric conditions using evidence-based practice
• Prescribe medications and deliver psychotherapeutic interventions as appropriate

• Bring complex cases to experienced subspecialty psychiatrists on our clinical team, including child and adolescent and addiction specialists
• Consult with our clinical pharmacist on complicated medication questions
• Coordinate with primary care providers, therapists, schools, and families as appropriate
• Contribute to interdisciplinary treatment planning discussions

• Complete accurate notes for every encounter in Healthie, supported by Nabla AI documentation
• Close documentation within 48 hours of the visit
• Follow clinic policies, prescribing standards, and state and federal regulatory requirements

• Stay current on developments in psychiatric treatment
• Use your CME benefit and bring what you learn back to the team
