Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it usually take to get licensed in all 50 states?

On average, it takes about 3–4 months to complete the full licensing process across multiple states. Our team walks members through every step, offering guidance and resources to streamline the journey.

Can you actually earn well in telemedicine, even without doing procedures?

Absolutely. Telemedicine operates on a different model from traditional, procedure-based care. Revenue is driven by scale, efficiency, and strategic positioning. Opportunities include multi-state practice, asynchronous care, leadership roles (e.g., medical director), niche-focused private practices, and corporate partnerships. You can build a highly profitable and flexible career without relying on in-person procedures.

What non-clinical opportunities are available in telemedicine?

Many professionals take on advisory, consulting, or policy-related roles. There are also opportunities in ownership structures, compliance leadership, and health system design, roles where your clinical expertise adds significant value, and you should be compensated accordingly.

Can I explore telemedicine opportunities while still working in a hospital or large health system?

Yes. Many participants begin exploring telemedicine while still employed. While some contracts may include clauses about outside work, these can often be navigated with the right approach—and we’ve seen many successfully do so.

Do telemedicine practices accept insurance or are they cash-pay only?

Both models exist. You can work with platforms or practices that bill insurance, offer cash-pay services, or a mix of both. Your path can align with your goals and preferences.

Are there opportunities in my specialty within telemedicine?

Most likely, yes. From psychiatry to urology, dermatology, rheumatology, and more. Telemedicine is expanding across specialties. We’ve seen demand grow in chronic care, women's health, addiction medicine, hormone therapy, and beyond.

Is it possible to work telemedicine outside of the usual 9–5?

Definitely. One of the biggest advantages of telemedicine is flexibility. Many platforms operate 24/7, and providers can choose shifts that fit their schedule, including evenings, weekends, or part-time.

What do independent telemedicine providers do for health and dental insurance?

There are a variety of health insurance and benefits options available for 1099 contractors. Many providers explore group plans, health sharing programs, private insurance, and self-directed retirement accounts to build a robust benefits package outside of traditional employment.

Are there opportunities for maternal-fetal medicine or OB/GYNs in telemedicine?

Yes. We’ve seen growing opportunities for OB/GYNs in virtual care, and we’d be happy to connect you with others in the field who are actively practicing.

How are specialists like rheumatologists utilized in telemedicine?

Specialists are in high demand, particularly for chronic disease management, second opinions, and access in underserved areas. Telemedicine enables specialists to serve wider patient populations with more flexibility.

What Our Members Are Saying...

All-In-Remote-Day-2-18

Before AIR, I was missing way too much time at home and with my kids. I feel like I met a team that really cared about my goals in medicine and helped me figure out what I wanted to do. Telemedicine has made it so I get to tuck my kids in every night, which is why I wanted to do this in the first place. 

Tom Gill
Emergency Medicine

AIR has been great in helping me navigate these complex territories. Not only do they focus in helping find where to practice but also brought in so many experts and specialists on the compliance and contracting side, which has always been my main concern. I'm so confident in telemedicine now and have over 8 jobs. 

Rachel Quinn
Family Medicine Physician

I can't say enough about how AIR has changed my life. I found my niche and really have enjoyed stepping into a mentorship and coaching role. I even convinced my wife to join!  Thank you AIR, a million times over. 

Dan Montville
Psychiatrist

I am happy to say AIR helped me really craft a focus around my true passion on functional medicine and longevity. Not only was I able to reduce my hours in the ER, but I get to focus more time with companies and people who are aligned with my area of speciality and interest. 

Steve Jones
Emergency Medicine, Longevity Specialty

The ER burned me out, but as a physician I felt stuck! When I was introduced to AIR, I went all in. I'm so happy to say that I did. I have over 6 jobs and found some that I am way more interested and passionate about. Now I get to have some balance and still not lose my role as a physician and provider.
