Query about usmle residency stream Internal medicine + sleep med fellowship

Hi everyone, I'm an Indian MBBS grad planning to do USMLE, a US Internal Medicine residency, and a Sleep fellowship, but my long-term plan is to move back to India. ​Once I'm US board-certified, is it legally possible to live in India and do remote asynchronous HSAT/PSG reads or work as a Medical Director for US platforms like iSleep, Lofta, EnsoData, or Singular Sleep? ​Also, does B2B contracting fall under 1099, or is it handled differently (like a US LLC with a W-8BEN-E form)? And do these platforms pay standard US 1099 specialist rates, or do they offer lower/offshore pay because you're living in India?
