Montana, Louisiana, and Indiana are listed as the top locations where healthcare professionals are earning in excess of $300,000, new data reveals.
High-paying jobs are no longer limited to rigid nine-to-five schedules or offices.
While healthcare has traditionally been tied to in-person delivery, the rapid expansion and development of telehealth technology is reshaping the industry, and specific roles are becoming remote-first without sacrificing higher salaries.
In this article, you’ll discover:
- Why the top three states hiring are the best for these high-paying healthcare remote roles
- Live job postings for part-time remote work in this field
- Typical starting salaries
The clinicians in several U.S. states who are earning more than $300,000 annually across multiple specialties (according to a new WalletHub study) include:
- Psychiatrists: earn between $263,000 and $343,000
- Physicians: earn around $317,000
- Pediatricians: earn up to $364,000
- Surgeons and anesthesiologists: can exceed $400,000
The study ranked these states as the top three for highest salary levels, job opportunities, and low burnout rates, as well as highest projected job openings by 2032:
- Montana
- Indiana
- Louisiana
But while several of these roles remain hands-on and of course cannot be delivered remotely (such as surgeon and anethesiology roles), increasing numbers of roles in general healthcare and mental health are now being delivered from home.
The rise of telehealth technology means that physicians can conduct consultations, produce patients’ plans and treatment plans, and conduct many other responsibilities entirely virtually, which also provides greater accessibility to patients who otherwise would be unable to come into a clinic.
3 Remote Part-Time Jobs That Pay Up To $300,000+
Out of the roles listed above, the top three remote jobs are:
- Psychiatrists
- Physicians
- Pediatricians
1. Part-Time Remote Psychiatrist
“The global telepsychiatry market is expected to grow at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 18.28% from $15.335 billion in 2021 to $49.658 billion in 2028,” a recent in-depth report projected.
This indicates that demand for these roles is sharply rising. Additionally, Resume Genius just released a study that revealed psychiatrists rank number one for remote work, with the role paying an average of $300,000 according to the report.
So, I did some digging around and discovered current vacancies like:
- Fully remote psychiatric consultant at Talkspace (pays up to $250,000/year)
- Remote child and adolescent psychiatrist (NJ) at InStride Health (also pays up to $250,000/year)
- Fully remote psychiatrist at UpLift, in Montana (pays up to $351,000/year)
2. Part-Time Remote Physician
Primary care physicians are also able to benefit from the part-time remote roles with eye-watering pro-rated salaries, where they’re able to manage chronic conditions and prescribe treatments virtually. For example:
- Northeast Healthcare Recruitment is hiring for a Telehealth Physician – with multiple state licenses in at least three or more U.S. states including CA, TX, FL, NY, VA, NC, WA, OH, PA, and GA (pays up to $374,000/year)
3. Part-Time Remote Pediatrician
Remote pediatricians are able to provide critical care to patients who need it most, leveraging their expertise to provide assessments and urgent healthcare post-hospital.
For example:
- Imagine Pediatrics is hiring for a Acute Care Pediatrician (Pediatric ER or Urgent Care). This role is fully remote but is not part-time, and Imagine Pediatrics has other similar remote roles (pays up to $250,000 in addition to annual bonus incentive, competitive company benefits package and eligibility to participate in an employee equity program).
- Norton Healthcare is also hiring for a pediatrician role, with remote and part-time options available. (Salary is not explicitly stated.)
What You Need To Know
These part-time remote jobs often come with these requirements:
- You’ll usually be working under a 1099 contract instead of on a full-time permanent employee basis
- Because you’re working part-time, any stated salaries are paid pro rata based on hours worked, for example 10 hours a week for a virtual psychiatry and mental health therapy provider
- You will still need to be licenced to work in the specific state you operate and provide services in, regardless of working remotely. The job advert will specify which states
- Multi-state licencing increases your earning potential
Telehealth technology is transforming one of the most lucrative industries in the world and making it easier for patients to receive accessible care, while healthcare professionals enjoy flexible work schedules, a remote work set-up, and the ability to earn as much as $300,000+ while doing so.
As this becomes the new norm, you can expect to see more high-paying remote jobs within healthcare in the years ahead.
