Stating
that we live in unprecedented times seems a bit cliche. However, cliches exist
for a reason: because they’re often true.
The coronavirus has upended
life as we know as well as the status quo, and people are rightfully feeling a
range of emotions about it. But there is one emotion that seems to be at the
core of everything: fear. Fear of the unknown, of what we’re going to do next,
where we’re going to go from here, and fear of what the job landscape will look
like for all of us.
While leaders and
politicians hold debates, people are being laid off and more and more are
turning to remote work.
If this is your first time
looking for remote work, and you work in an industry that typically doesn’t
allow for it (or at least, hasn’t allowed for it until recently) – like
healthcare – never fear! We’ve got you covered.
We’ve compiled a list of
the top 10 telehealth jobs hiring now – read on below to learn more about
shifting your focus and industry into the remote work field.
10 Places To Check For Remote Telehealth Jobs
1 – The Remote Nurse
The Remote Nurse is a
fantastic website and is currently offering live updates on remote COVID-19
nursing, PA (Physicians Assistants), and NP (Nurse Practitioner) jobs.
Companies like Aerotek,
United Concierge Medicine, and BabyLiveAdvice are all listed as companies that
are currently hiring. When I last checked, 16 positions were listed.
One user asked if LPN’s
(Licensed Practical Nurses) were able to apply, and the response from The
Remote Nurse was that it depended on the job requirements, so keep that in mind
if you’re applying as a LPN.
Also remember that this
website is purely to list jobs – The Remote Nurse is not recruiting or hiring
for these positions! Its function is to simply act as a job board. Salaries for
these positions vary as well.

2 – Carenet Health
As a nurse working in
telephone triage, you can work overnight shifts (i.e., after the kids have gone
to bed – if you have them!), and you can make around $25 hourly, full-time.
This is likely not the
ideal salary for a nurse, but it seems more flexible than a “regular” nursing
job, and keeps you home and safe during the era of COVID-19.
Some RN’s on Glassdoor said
you can even make up to $26 per hour – and who knows how that salary might
change as the weeks turn into months during this pandemic.
Caranet does require over
three years of experience in the following: Pediatrics, Home Health Care,
Emergency Nursing, ICU, Med./Surg. or related fields with patients of different
ages.
There are 33 job
opportunities at the time of this article’s creation, and they even include
ones like “Proposal Writer,” which doesn’t require nursing experience, of
course (although it is preferred to have a medical background); however, it
does require a four-year degree from an accredited university in either
Communications, Business, English, or a related field.
As a freelance writer, I
know that technical writing or medical writing jobs require a bit more in terms
of either experience or a degree, but one perk to writing for these “tougher”
jobs is that they generally pay more. And if you’re a medical professional who
is not a professional writer, I would still recommend going out for jobs like
these.
You never know what you may
fall into, especially during a time of crisis – and that can be a good thing!

3 – FoneMed
At the time of this post’s
creation, 3 telehealth jobs were available through FoneMed. One cool aspect to
the FoneMed positions is that they are employment positions –
not contractor positions. This means that they offer salary plus benefits.
Honestly, work-from-home
jobs that are flexible and offer a salary and benefits are my favorite types of
remote jobs. There’s certainly a benefit – if you’ll pardon the pun – to
project-based work, especially if you’re more introverted (hello, never having
to talk to someone after a project is finished!), but in my mind, you can’t
beat a regular paycheck – and benefits!

FoneMed.
4 – Triage 4 Pediatrics
Triage 4 Pediatrics hires
remote, telephone-based pediatric triage nurses. You must have a Texas RN
license to apply.
At the time of this
article, the company is hiring a Pediatric Telephone Triage Nurse. There is not
any salary information on the company’s website; however, according to RegisteredNursing.org, a
telephone triage nurse can make anywhere from around $64,000 per year to nearly
$80,000 per year. Not too shabby!

Triage 4 Pediatrics.
5 – Conifer Health Solutions
To find remote telehealth
jobs through Conifer Health Solutions, I simply typed “remote,” into the search
bar via the above link, and boom! 65 results were found!
There were jobs across
multiple departments, including coding, patient and physician services, RN
positions, A/R Management, health information management, and many others.
Payment seems to vary based
on the job. I like seeing jobs that are available in multiple departments, as
they could be a little more lenient on your background and experience requirements,
allowing more folks to apply for more jobs as they become available.

Conifer Health Solutions.
6 – Dot Dash
Did the Medical Proposal
Writer job I mentioned earlier spark your interest? Good news – there are
plenty of remote freelance writing jobs for medicine going around! You can find
them on Dot Dash; once again, I simply typed in “remote” into the search bar.
Remember, when searching
for remote jobs, it’s important to get the keywords right,
and “remote” is one of the best keywords you can use! “Work from home” also
works well for these types of positions.
Dot Dash has several
different types of content jobs currently listed, including a Health and
Wellness Content Update Editor and Research Coordinator for their health
division.
The great thing about Dot
Dash is that it also lists jobs in the tech and home, pets, and crafts arenas,
so if you have some non-healthcare-worker-friends who are looking for remote
work, send them Dot Dash’s way!
Payment seems to vary based
on the job and your experience level.

7 – him & hers
Looking for a truly modern
look into telemedicine? Look no further than him & hers, a product line
that helps aid in hair loss, ED, skincare, and more. They’re also looking for
remote workers in the telemedicine field who can work as Clinicians and are
NP’s and MD’s.
Your job as a telehealth
worker for the company would be to conduct consultations via phone or video,
answer patient questions, and be available at least 10 hours per week.
There is no salary info for
this company, though they do tout on their job application page that they’ve
raised over $200MM in funding. Pretty impressive, but it’s a bit strange that a
hair company is trying to branch out into actual medicine, so proceed with
caution if you’re a NP or MD.
Go here to check out him
and hers.
8 – TTS Technologies
Honestly, the website for
TTS Technologies is a bit confusing – it says to call or email if you’re
looking for a job, but they also have an active job posting for a Remote Nurse
on Google.
This is a telemedicine
management company, and they seem to operate in the role of recruitment.
According to the job board
posting for the Remote Nurse position, the client’s company is looking for
RN’s, LVN’s, and LPN’s who are 100% remote, are contract, direct hire, or
contract to hire.
There is no information on
salary. Let us know if you apply and move forward in the application process!
Go
here to check out TTS Technologies.
9 – Aligned Telehealth
Aligned Telehealth is an
interesting company that I came across in my research for this article. They’re
a “leading national provider of behavioral healthcare, offering Telehealth
services as well as facility-based staffing programs.”
I’m sure that there are
many companies out there like them, but their website is well-put-together, and
it seems like they’re very experienced in telehealth services, to say the
least.
Their mission statement is
front-and-center on their website as well: to provide healthcare to every
American, no matter where they live.
The company recently posted
a job for a Physician in response to the COVID-19
crisis. Requirements include Board Certification in Internal,
Emergency, or Family Medicine; 1-year post-residency experience; an active,
unrestricted DEA license; and an active state license in any of the following
states, per the website: “FL, TX, CA, WA, NJ, AL, CO, GA, IL, MN, NC, NV, OK,
TN, WI, NY, AK, AZ, MD, VA, DC.”

10 -Doctors on Demand
No, you don’t have to be a
doctor (necessarily) to join Doctors on Demand! In fact, you can simply work on
the customer service side of things in telehealth or on the corporate side.
There are many jobs listed at the above link, and salary and/or hourly pay is
based on experience and the job itself.

And don't forget to check
out FlexJobs as well. They
have frequent work at home and flexible openings listed in every category you
can think of, including the medical field. I have used this site for years and
fully trust their listings.
