Nurse Practitioner / APP (NP, CNM, PA-C)

About SimpliFed

SimpliFed is a virtual maternal health company. We start with feeding support (lactation care, pumping and supply help, and prescribing for breast pumps and related needs) and build from there into care across pregnancy and postpartum, including postpartum mood screening and connection to the right next level of care. Our clinicians see families by video across the U.S., working alongside health plans, health systems, and breast pump suppliers.

We believe the key to every happy, healthy baby is a happy, healthy parent.

How we think about feeding

We help families feed their babies in whatever way works for them: nursing, exclusive pumping, formula, combination feeding, donor milk, supplementing, or weaning. Our job is to give parents accurate information and real support for their goals, not to judge their choices. A confident, supported parent and a fed, growing baby are the outcomes we care about.

We hire clinicians who share this view and show it in how they talk with families.

The role

You'll see new and expecting parents in live video visits, mostly to evaluate and order breast pumps and related supplies, plus feeding-related prescribing when it's clinically appropriate. Visits are short (about 20 minutes including documentation), same-day, and patient-facing, not chart review. You'll work alongside our IBCLC and RN/IBCLC team, who carry families' ongoing lactation care. This is our fastest-growing service line.

What you'll do

• Run live video visits: history, assessment, and orders for breast pumps, supplies, and feeding-related medications when appropriate.
• Document medical necessity clearly. Your note is what supports the order with the health plan and the supplier.
• Bring a feeding-informed lens to each visit and hand families to our lactation team for ongoing support.
• Run prenatal and postpartum video visits covering feeding assessment, latch and positioning, milk supply, pumping and flange fit, supplementing, bottle feeding, formula transitions, and weaning.
• Build practical care plans around each family's own feeding goals.
• Screen for postpartum and infant red flags and escalate or refer per SimpliFed protocols.
• Maintain your state licenses and health plan enrollment; complete our EHR and e-prescribing training.
• Follow up with families and our lactation team as needed after visits.

Required

• Active, unrestricted NP/APRN, CNM, or PA-C license with prescriptive authority in at least one U.S. state. See our priority states below.
• Available at least 15 hours a week. 20+ hours preferred.
• Willing to practice under a collaborative or supervisory agreement where your state requires one. SimpliFed arranges the physician; you don't need to bring your own.
• A private, quiet space for video visits, reliable high-speed internet, and a computer with a camera that meets our telehealth platform requirements.

Preferred

• The same days and times each week (fixed weekly blocks).
• A license in Texas (our top priority), North Carolina, or Pennsylvania, or licenses in several states.
• Women's health, midwifery, family, or pediatric background (WHNP, CNM, FNP, PNP).
• IBCLC or CLC certification.
• Telehealth, DME, or outpatient prescribing experience.
• An individual NPI, an active CAQH profile, and current enrollment with UnitedHealthcare, BCBS/Anthem, Aetna, or Cigna.
• Illinois NPs: Full Practice Authority on file.

Schedule and commitment

We're moving away from a large panel of low-hour contractors toward fewer, more committed providers per state. It cuts credentialing overhead for everyone and gets families seen faster. We look for at least 20 hours a week of availability. Providers who can offer the same days and times each week, and more hours, get priority scheduling and more volume.

Getting started

After you accept an offer, you'll complete a 30-day onboarding period: credentialing, systems setup, and training. Our aim is to have you seeing families as soon as that 30 days is done.

Credentialing with licensing boards and health plans can take 30 to 90 days from your hire date to delivering care, depending on your licenses and which health plans you'll see patients under. We'll tell you up front what to expect for your situation and start the paperwork the day you accept.
