Remote Healthcare Jobs Open to US Applicants (Oct 2026)
You want a healthcare job you can do from home, and you need to know which listings actually accept applicants in the United States right now. As of 14 October 2026, the JobRise live jobs feed shows 316 open remote Healthcare listings that say they accept applicants in this country. Of those, 272 were posted in the last 30 days, and 234 in the last 7 days alone. That is a fast-moving slice, so treat these numbers as a dated snapshot, not a market forecast.
What the numbers say#
The 316 listings sit inside a wider pool. The remote Healthcare hub on JobRise holds 420 listings in total, meaning the US-accepting slice is most of it but not all. For context, the whole United States jobs feed shows 13,720 open listings across every category, so healthcare remote work is a real but narrow band of what is out there. You can browse the remote healthcare hub and the wider US listings to compare.
Job type splits matter when you plan your income. Full-time roles account for 199 of the 316, part-time for 89, and contract for 28. If you need benefits and steady pay, the full-time block is where to focus first. Contract roles can pay well per hour but usually come without health coverage or paid time off.
One blunt finding: 0 of the 316 listings carry entry-level titles like intern, graduate, junior, or trainee. If you are early in your healthcare career, this particular slice is not built for you right now. Look wider, or build experience locally first.

Who is hiring#
Ten companies hold a large share of these listings. Heartstrings Pet Hospice, In-Home Euthanasia & Aftercare has 116 open listings. Caring Hand Home Health Solutions, Inc. has 38, Dane Street, LLC has 29, Affinity Hospice Care Inc. has 26, and Best Home Health Providers, Inc. has 22. Further down the list: IntellaTriage (14), Premier Home Health Providers Inc. (7), Ascendis Pharma (6), Wider Circle (6), and Premier Spine & Pain Institute (5).
Note that some of these names are recruiters or staffing firms rather than the end employer. That is normal in healthcare. Ask early who signs your paycheck and who sets your schedule.
Sample titles in the slice show the range. BME Strategies has a "Senior Advisor, Vaccine & Clinical Case Management" role. Dane Street, LLC lists several physician reviewer posts, including "Dual Board Certified Internal Medicine and Pain Medicine Physician Advisor", "Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinology/Infertility Physician Disability Peer", "Board Certified Vascular Surgery Physician Disability Peer Reviewer", and "Board Certified Pulmonology Physician Disability Peer Review". Ascendis Pharma has "Manager, Global Scientific Training - Job ID: 2063". Premier Spine & Pain Institute lists a "Telehealth Medical Assistant", and Affinity Hospice Care Inc. lists a "Registered Nurse".
What "remote" really means here#
"Remote" in a listing is not one thing. Read the fine print before you picture your home office.
Country restriction comes first. These 316 listings say they accept applicants in the United States. That does not mean they accept applicants from every state. Some healthcare roles are limited to states where you hold an active license, and some employers only hire in states where they are registered as an employer. Confirm your state before you spend an hour on the application.
Time zones matter more than people expect. A "remote" triage or case management role may still want you online during Eastern business hours. If you live on the West Coast, that means an early start. Ask about core hours in the first call.
Employment type changes your tax picture. As an employee, your employer withholds federal and state taxes and pays part of your Social Security and Medicare. As a contractor, you handle all of that yourself, including a self-employment tax on top of income tax, and you should set aside money for quarterly estimated payments. Some companies hire remote workers through an employer-of-record, a third party that handles payroll and compliance. In that case your offer letter may name a different company than the one you work with day to day.
None of this is tax advice. Rules change and personal situations differ. Talk to a tax professional and check current IRS guidance before you sign anything.
Scam red flags to watch#
Healthcare job scams copy real employer names and real-looking offer letters. Slow down when something feels off.
- The "recruiter" contacts you only by chat app and refuses a phone or video call.
- You are asked to buy equipment or supplies with a check they send you, then wire money back.
- The offer arrives before any interview, with a salary that is oddly high for the role.
- They ask for your Social Security number, bank details, or a copy of your ID before an offer is signed.
- The email domain does not match the company website, for example a free webmail address posing as an employer.
- The job description is vague about duties but specific about how fast you can start.
- They pressure you to accept within hours and call it a limited-time slot.
Real healthcare employers verify licenses and credentials. That takes time. Speed and secrecy are your warning signs.
How to stand out in remote applications#
Hiring managers for remote roles screen for three things: can you work without supervision, can you communicate in writing, and are you licensed where they need you. Show all three early.
Mirror the language of the listing. If it says "triage", "case management", or "utilization review", use those words where they honestly apply to your experience. Many applications are filtered by software before a person reads them, so run your resume through a free ATS checker to catch formatting and keyword problems before you submit.
Numbers help. Here is a rewritten bullet, before and after.
Before: "Responsible for patient triage and coordination of care."
After: "Triaged 40 to 60 inbound patient calls per shift in a remote after-hours nurse line, escalating 12 percent of cases to on-call physicians and documenting each encounter in the EHR within 10 minutes."
The second version tells a reviewer you can handle volume, make judgment calls, and write clean records. That is exactly what remote healthcare work demands.
For physician reviewer roles like the Dane Street, LLC posts, lead with your board certifications and your specialty, plus any experience in independent medical review or disability determination. Those credentials are the filter.
A 7-step plan#
- Pick your lane. Decide between clinical, triage, case management, physician review, or admin roles, because each needs a different resume.
- Filter by country and license. Check that the listing accepts US applicants and that it covers your state.
- Rewrite your top third. Put your license, specialty, years of experience, and home state in the first lines of your resume.
- Quantify two or three bullets. Volume, response times, and outcomes beat duty lists every time.
- Check the file before you send. Run it through a free ATS checker and fix anything that breaks parsing.
- Track everything. Keep a simple sheet with company, role, date applied, and follow-up date. Follow up once after about a week.
- Prepare for the contract talk. Before the offer call, note what you need for benefits, hours, and pay, and know your bottom line.

FAQ#
How current are these numbers?
They are a snapshot from the JobRise live jobs feed taken on 14 October 2026. Counts of open listings shift daily as roles are filled and new ones post. Recheck the job hubs before you rely on any count.
Do these listings include salary information?
No listing in this slice shows a salary. When a range is not posted, ask the recruiter for the range in the first conversation before investing time in interviews. Ranges vary widely by specialty, license level, and state.
Can I apply if I live outside the United States?
These 316 listings specifically accept applicants in the United States. If you are based elsewhere, filter the remote healthcare hub for listings that accept your country instead. Do not assume a US-accepting listing will consider you.
Are contract healthcare roles worth taking?
Contract roles can be a good bridge between permanent jobs or a way to add a specialty to your record. They usually lack benefits and require you to handle taxes yourself. Weigh the hourly rate against what you would otherwise spend on health coverage and unpaid time off.
What if I am early in my healthcare career?
This slice showed 0 entry-level titled openings on the snapshot date. Look at wider US listings, consider local or hybrid roles to build experience, and revisit remote options once you have a license plus some months of practice. Local experience is what remote healthcare employers ask about first.
