Pay for this position is based on the number of days each psych NP works each month. The pay rate is $60 for each day our Psych NP works. If the psych NP is full-time, in the shortest of months (20 workdays), that would equate to $1200 for each full-time provider. For our part-time psych NP’s, the rate is simply adjusted for the number of days they work in each month. For the part-time providers, the number of patients seen is reduced which also reduces the burden for the collaborating physician.

We're committed to removing unnecessary administrative burdens and empowering our providers to deliver the best care possible.UltaCare Medical has a rich history rooted in the dedication and passion of our founder, a geriatrician, who was approached by a struggling nursing home in East TN in 2006. The facility had incurred significant tags and fines from the state for a number of issues and needed help to improve healthcare for their residents. Our founder conducted an in-depth analysis and recommended embedding certain providers into the facility to improve care. The nursing home was so impressed with his work that they asked him to implement the changes he recommended. After several years, the nursing home went from being a struggling 1-star facility, barely able to stay open, to a thriving 5-star facility at 100% occupancy. Our founder's work was recognized when he was awarded the prestigious AMDA National Medical Director of the Year.This experience inspired the development of UltaCare Medical's patient-focused model, which has evolved and improved over the intervening 17 years.
