About Avail Health
Avail Health is focused on improving care for patients with complex medical, behavioral health, and social needs through interdisciplinary, technology-enabled care models.
We are seeking an experienced Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who wants to make a meaningful difference in the lives of adult and geriatric patients, including those with complex behavioral health needs. This fully remote opportunity will primarily focus on psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and longitudinal behavioral health treatment.
As part of our Comprehensive Behavioral Health Program, the PMHNP will work closely with an interdisciplinary team providing psychiatry, psychotherapy, behavioral health care management, and dementia care. The role will also support behavioral health referrals through our Care Transitions Program, helping patients access appropriate psychiatric care following hospitalization.
For paneled patients receiving dementia care through the CMS Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model, the PMHNP will serve as the GUIDE Practitioner and collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to support patients and their caregivers.
This opportunity is well suited for a clinician who values building relationships with patients over time, enjoys navigating complex clinical needs, and wants to be part of a collaborative team working to improve behavioral health care for patients who may benefit from additional support and coordination.
What You'll DoBehavioral Health & Dementia Care
The primary focus of this role is providing longitudinal psychiatric care and clinical oversight for patients enrolled in Avail Health's Comprehensive Behavioral Health Program.

• Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and provide diagnosis, treatment, and medication management for adult and geriatric patients with a range of behavioral health needs, including complex and co-occurring conditions.
• Develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans and provide ongoing psychiatric care for a longitudinal behavioral health patient panel.
• Provide clinical oversight of behavioral health and dementia care management plans, working closely with care managers to assess patient progress, address changes in clinical needs, and guide ongoing care.
• Collaborate with the interdisciplinary care team, including RNs, SWs, and Care Navigators, to coordinate behavioral health, medical, functional, and psychosocial needs and support comprehensive patient care.
• Participate in interdisciplinary case reviews and clinical care planning.
• Serve as the GUIDE Practitioner for assigned paneled patients participating in the CMS GUIDE Model, including clinical oversight of individualized dementia care plans and collaboration with the interdisciplinary team to support patients and caregivers.

Care Transitions Support
The PMHNP will also support Avail Health's Care Transitions Program, providing post-hospital care with a particular focus on patients with behavioral health needs and supporting continuity into appropriate longitudinal services.

• Evaluate and manage behavioral health needs identified during the post-hospital transition, including psychiatric evaluation, treatment, and medication management as clinically appropriate.
• Collaborate with RNs, SWs, Care Navigators, and other members of the Care Transitions team to identify patient needs, coordinate interventions and follow-up, and support safe transitions after hospitalization.
• Facilitate continuity into longitudinal behavioral health and other appropriate care management programs when ongoing support is indicated.
• Based on qualifications and program needs, provide cross-coverage for broader Transitional Care Management (TCM) services, including post-discharge evaluations, medication reconciliation, medical decision-making, individualized care planning, and clinical management throughout the TCM episode.
• Provide TCM and other medical cross-coverage only within the practitioner's education, certification, clinical competency, licensure, and granted privileges.
