Telehealth Nurse Practitioner Jobs in New York

New York sits outside both compacts: it is a non-member of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact and is not among the 43 jurisdictions in the Nurse Licensure Compact, and the 2025 bills that would join the medical compact (S1505 and its Assembly companion A6362) were still in committee. A full New York license and registration remain the price of entry. Payers, meanwhile, must reimburse telehealth at the same rate as in-person care under Insurance Law section 3217-h, although that rate-parity provision is currently written to expire on April 1, 2028.

For prescribing, 10 CRR-NY 80.63, as amended by a Final Rule, is the provision to know: initiating buprenorphine for opioid use disorder requires an evaluation by a practitioner holding a valid DEA registration, and that visit may be conducted in person or by telehealth. The DEA's current temporary rule, which runs through December 31, 2026, sets the federal floor underneath that state requirement.

New York appears 25 times in the cached pool with 16 remote flags, and it is the one state where gig and salaried telehealth roles are advertised side by side: two listings carry 1099 language and one says W2, with titles like "1099 Telemedicine Nurse Practitioner | Flexible Schedule" sitting next to "Telehealth Nurse Practitioner | W2 FT". Nurse practitioners dominate the demand (15 listings), followed by physician assistants (8).
