Set schedule, strong weekly pay, no billing, no admin. I place clinicians into California correctional contracts — my team clears the credentialing, and I'm your contact for the length of the contract.
I don't run a generalist desk. Three specialties, one focus: California correctional contracts. I know what each facility pays, how its schedule runs, and who does well there. You get real numbers on the first call, not a range.
Individual and group therapy on a set caseload, risk assessments, and treatment planning with the interdisciplinary team. Structured outpatient work, 40 hours, no billing.
Medication management and initial evaluations on a defined panel, with interdisciplinary treatment team input. Adult and geriatric. No insurance documentation, no prior authorizations. Board certified or board eligible — both qualify.
Chronic care clinic, sick call, and urgent evaluations on a defined panel. Internal medicine and family practice — complex patients, predictable shift blocks, medicine without the inbox.
These are state-funded contracts with steady demand — strong rates, a fixed scope, and a hard line between work and home. Most clinicians I place extend past their first term.
The rate is the rate — set before you start and held for the full contract term. No mid-contract changes, no surprises. You know exactly what the work pays before you sign.
Defined shifts. Defined patient load. No weekends unless you ask for them. You know what Tuesday looks like before you sign — and what next Tuesday looks like, too.
You are not running a practice. No coding, no RVUs, no patient-portal messages at 9pm. Astrya handles credentialing, malpractice, and payroll. You practice medicine.
How many clinicians are working right now, how many stay past their first term, how fast you start, and how long a contract runs.
Short pieces on rates, structure, and the questions clinicians ask.

ReadThe rate is the headline. Take-home is the question behind it. Here is how to think about 1099 pay at $102–$345 an hour — without the guesswork.
It's the line on every page of this site. Here is what disappears from your day when the billing does — and what fills the space instead.
What's open right now, what it pays, and whether it fits. Bring your questions.
