As an independent contractor, you will maintain separate contractual agreements with each organization. You will invoice and receive compensation separately from each entity based on the time worked and services delivered for their respective programs. This means you are not an employee of any of the entities and are instead engaged as a self-employed contractor for each.

While day-to-day scheduling and care coordination may be managed collaboratively to support continuity across programs, each organization retains responsibility for its own scope of work, compliance requirements, and payment processes.
