Psychiatrist / Addiction Medicine Physician in GA (1099)

Clinical Intake/Triage Nurse

Ria Health, recognized as the leading national telehealth provider specializing in alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment, recently raised $12.5 million through a Series B financing led by Peloton Equity. Our existing investors SV Health, BPEA and SOSV also participated in the Series B. The investment will further the momentum of commercial partnerships that include regional and national health plans, including Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealth Group Optum, Beacon Health Options, Highmark Health, and Magellan Health. Ria Health will enable patients to achieve long term success in reducing or eliminating their alcohol consumption, and live healthier and happier lives.

Ria Health clinical personnel participate in a virtual team clinic environment, working interdependently with team members and departments. Physicians must have demonstrated training in addiction, either during residency or through post graduate training courses or academic appointments. Ria Physicians are leaders, capable of providing training and supervision to Ria clinicians. Ria Physicians are professional and collegial, with the temperament and judgment to treat patients via telemedicine. Ria Physicians use the Ria platform to monitor and support members' progress to positive outcomes, and to collaborate with other medical and supporting team members.
