Board-Certified Physician (MD or DO) - GLP-1 Prescribing (Independent Contractor)

The Role

Berry Street has expanded into GLP-1 prescribing and is seeking board-certified Physicians (MD or DO) to join our independent contractor prescriber network. You will provide telehealth clinical evaluations, prescribe and titrate GLP-1 medications for weight management patients, and collaborate with our RD team - all fully remote, on a schedule you control.

What You'll Do

• Conduct synchronous telehealth evaluations for new GLP-1 patients, assessing eligibility, comorbidities, contraindications, and treatment goals per Berry Street’s clinical protocol
• Prescribe and titrate FDA-approved GLP-1 medications (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, etc.)
• Manage and supervise follow-up visits, dose titration, side effect counseling, and lab review through a mix of synchronous visits and async chart review, per applicable state law
• Review Berry Street RD care summaries before prescribing encounters and reference documented lifestyle modification history in your clinical documentation
• Sign Letters of Medical Necessity for prior authorization submissions; PA Coordinators handle all ePA logistics and submissions
• Respond to PA appeals requiring clinical input within 48 hours and support renewal PA documentation every 6-12 months
• Participate in Medical Director-led clinical reviews, protocol updates, and quality improvement initiatives to continuously refine the prescribing experience
• Practice within Berry Street’s Professional Corporation (PC) in full CPOM compliance — all clinical decisions are entirely yours
• Maintain active licensure, malpractice coverage, and payer credentialing across contracted states
• Participate in periodic chart audits and quality reviews led by the Medical Director

Requirements

• MD or DO from an accredited U.S. medical school; board-certified in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, or a related specialty (ABMS or AOA)
• Active NPI and unrestricted medical licenses in a minimum of 30 U.S. states; willingness to obtain additional licenses to support patient footprint strongly preferred; IMLC enrollment or eligibility is a significant plus
• Licensure in at least 1 high-volume state (CA, TX, FL, NY, PA, IL)
• Minimum 3 years of post-residency clinical experience managing patients with obesity, metabolic syndrome, or type 2 diabetes
• Comfort practicing in a fully remote clinical environment with proficiency in EHR platforms
• Board certification or training in Obesity Medicine (ABOM) is a plus
• Prior telehealth prescribing experience in weight management or metabolic health is a plus

• Professional liability / malpractice insurance covering telehealth encounters included.
• Limited administrative overhead - PA Coordinators, MSO billing, and scheduling are handled for you.
• Best-in-class PA documentation - Berry Street’s existing RD records mean higher PA approval rates.
