1099 Network RD Compensation

Learn how I am compensated as a 1099 RD

Updated over 3 months ago

Monthly Payments

  • 1099 Network RDs are paid monthly. Usually, payments are sent on the 20th of the month for work completed in the previous month. E.g. Units billed and training completed in January will be paid on or around February 20th. Some days may vary due to bank holidays.

  • Payments are sent through Rippling (unless you live in Puerto Rico), where you can also find your paystub following payment. If you live in PR, you are paid through billing.com

  • You will be sent a billing summary around the 10th of the month detailing what you will be paid in the upcoming payment. If you have any questions, or believe compensation is incorrect, submit a ticket.

Onboarding Stipends

RDs will be paid a one-time $600 onboarding stipend after completing all onboarding tasks, as detailed below, and the following:

  • Complete the Onboarding and Post-Onboarding Path (Go Live) in our LMS

  • Complete their Medallion application to 100%

  • Complete a 1:1 coaching session

  • Pass a chart review

In addition, an RD is eligible to receive a one-time $250 bonus if:

  • The RD completes the Onboarding Path (go Live) in our LMS within 14 days of the official start date in your contract

  • The RD completes their Medallion application to 100% within 14 days of the official start date in your contract

  • The RD logs a minimum of 600 minutes within our LMS

To be eligible to receive the onboarding stipend, in addition to completing the tasks above, the RD must:

  • Provide all information required to meet credentialing requirements

  • Complete their first two (2) months of patient visits without Dietitian missing any appointments (not counting timely rescheduled visits)

  • Have billed a minimum of 50 units

Onboarding stipend will be paid subsequent to all of these requirements being met. The two (2) month period of patient visits begins on the date the first patient is seen (not the Effective Date).

Trainings

  • Training is paid only when it is completed in Workramp.

  • You are not paid for training that you do not complete.

  • The time paid is listed at the top of each training.

  • You are not paid for training individually that is included in onboarding or post onboarding. That is part of your stipend.

License Reimbursement

  • Licenses are reimbursed after you have been active with Foodsmart for 90 days.

  • We only reimburse for licenses that we asked you to get when you started with us.

CDR Renewal

  • We do not reimburse 1099s for CDR renewals

How are my billing units calculated?

RDs are paid according to the units entered into each encounter in Foodsmart for Dietitians. You will be paid for each unit of MNT billed at your contractual rate.

  • You are paid for the units that you enter into each encounter. The units are then divided by 4 to get the hours. You are not paid other time spent charting, etc.

What is the payment policy for No-Shows?

  • No show and last minute cancellations are paid at $13/visit currently.

  • We will only pay one (1) no-show unit within any one-hour period. This means that if you have a scheduled visit that results in a no-show, and then you pick up an on-demand visit within that same hour that also results in a no-show, you will still only receive one no-show unit for that hour.

  • If you cancel a visit as a "member no-show" and then pick up an on-demand visit and bill units you WILL NOT receive compenation for the no-show during that time slot.

  • To receive a no-show unit, you must select “Member No Show” (if the patient does not attend the visit).

  • If the member cancels within 4 hours before the visit start (regardless of if the member cancels the visit or the RD cancels the visit) our system will record it as no show unit so long as it's:

    • not due to the RD being unavailable for the visit AND

    • cancelled up until 20 minutes after the visit start time

  • “No-show units” are simply a component of your compensation. We never “bill” a unit to a member if they’re a no-show

  • No shows will not be compensated if canceled more than 20 minutes after the start of the visit.

  • If you are having technical errors with canceling visit submit an FFD bug ticket.
