Employment & Compensation
All therapist positions at UE Children's Services begin under the 1099 Independent Contractor model, with no exceptions. Every therapist is required to review and sign a one-year Independent Contractor Agreement when joining the organization.
Because our services are insurance-based, therapists must complete all required onboarding, credentialing, and payer enrollment before treating clients. Therapists will begin providing services after credentialing approval and will initially be compensated under the 1099 model based on services rendered.
1099 Independent Contractor – Required Starting Model:
The required starting model for every therapist. Compensation is based on services rendered, with scheduling developed around clinician availability, client needs, and clinic operations.
Pay-Per-Visit Model – Potential Future Option:
Compensation is based on each completed patient visit. This option may become available as caseloads, payer participation, and clinic operations continue to grow.
Hybrid Salary Model – Potential Future Option:
A structured base salary combined with productivity expectations and possible additional compensation. This option may become available based on organizational needs, performance, caseload, and mutual agreement.
Compensation models beyond the required initial 1099 arrangement are potential future options and are not guaranteed. Availability will depend on clinic growth, payer participation, caseload, performance, organizational needs, and mutual agreement.
