Employment

Benson Health Clinic (BHC) is a small PMHNP and psychotherapist clinic in Eugene, OR. Founded and operated by Amber Benson, PMHNP. BHC is a welcoming and peaceful environment for clients to obtain individualized mental health care. BHC is also a resource staff supportive and prosperous clinical practice site for PMHNPs. Currently, BHC is looking to expand the clinic by adding one or two full and/or part-time PMHNP’s to our team of four PMHNPs and three psychotherapists.

What We Offer

PMHNP compensation is a contracted percentage of the PMHNP’s NET receivables. This means, for example, that when a PMHNP sees a client for mental health assessment, monitoring, medication management, and/or psychotherapy, that PMHNP codes the client appointment based on standard PMH insurance codes for services provided. When insurance pays the clinic for those services, the PMHNP receives the larger percentage (what has been contracted with the PMHNP) of this insurance payment amount). In Oregon, an independent PMHNP practice state, PMHNPs are paid on parity with MD psychiatrists.

BHC PMHNPs delineate their own BHC practice. This means the PMHNP can develop a specialized practice if he/she chooses and choose the length of appointments.
