Collaborating physicians for telehealth NP groups
Collaborating physicians for telehealth NP groups: Cosign helps telehealth groups that employ NPs and PAs find collaborating physicians in their specialty, prepare each state-specific agreement and track chart reviews and check-ins in one place. Psychiatry is our focus, and we help groups keep one relationship that covers several states.
What a telehealth group needs from a physician partner
- Physicians in your specialty, including psychiatrists comfortable overseeing controlled-substance prescribing
- Coverage for each state where your clinicians see patients and an agreement is required
- Agreements prepared for the state each one covers
- One record of chart reviews and check-ins for every clinician
- A plan for when a clinician joins, moves to a new state or a physician steps away
How Cosign works with your group
- Tell us your states, your specialty, how many NPs and PAs need a collaborating physician, and whether they prescribe controlled substances.
- We introduce vetted physicians in your specialty. Each clinician talks with the physician before anything is signed.
- We prepare the state-specific agreements.
- We track chart reviews and check-ins each month, so your team has a clear record for each clinician.
Adding clinicians and states
When you hire a new NP or PA, or start seeing patients in a new state, send the details on the get matched form and we start the match the same way. Whether one physician can cover several of your states depends on the states and the physician's licenses, so we confirm it for each match. Bring the questions in can one relationship cover several states? to any service you compare.
What it costs
Match is $750 one time, and Collaboration is $800 to $1,200 per month, with psychiatry at the higher end. Tell us how many clinicians and states are involved and we will show how those prices apply to your group. See Cosign pricing for what each plan includes.
