Telepsychiatry & Moonlighting as a Resident

Any companies known to let residents with full licenses moonlight? I'm looking for one and can't seem to find any yet, but have heard they exist. Any input would be greatly appreciated

A couple of my colleagues had bespoke telepsych-based moonlighting opportunities, but these were individually worked out rather than through a full-on telepsychiatry company. One of our residents had an arrangement to be on-call for several urgent care centers in the event someone with a psychiatric complaint came in that the primary urgent care provider was uncomfortable handling. He would be on call for 24 hours over the weekend and paid a fairly low hourly rate for the coverage with additional pay per person seen. He seemed to really enjoy it.

I imagine you might run into issues working with a true telepsych-based practice given that you aren't BC/BE.
