Independent Orthopedic Surgeon-Owner -- Workflow Consultant (Remote)

Job Description

Job Description

We are hiring licensed orthopedic surgeons (MD/DO) who currently own, co-own, or operate an independent orthopedic practice for a short-term paid consulting engagement focused on orthopedic workflow documentation.

This is not a clinical, patient-care, or staff role. We are looking for independent owner-operators who can help us understand how real orthopedic practices run day to day: the systems used, the handoffs between team members, the operational bottlenecks, and the decisions that come up in common workflows.

Candidates must currently own, co-own, or have executive decision-making authority at an independent orthopedic practice. Applicants without current ownership or equivalent decision-making authority will not be considered for this specific engagement.

What you'll do

You'll participate in remote consulting sessions and help document real-world independent orthopedic workflows, such as:

• Patient intake and scheduling
• Prior authorization (imaging, surgery, DME, injections)
• In-office procedures and injection workflows
• In-office imaging (X-ray) workflows
• DME dispensing and tracking
• Charting and procedure coding
• Claims, denials, appeals, and A/R follow-up
• Surgical scheduling and PT referrals

You may be asked to:

• Walk through workflows step by step over Zoom
• Explain what information is needed at each step
• Identify common exceptions, edge cases, bottlenecks, and decision points
• Review process maps, task lists, or SOP-style documentation for accuracy
• Provide written feedback on whether a documented workflow matches how real independent practices operate

Required qualifications

• Orthopedic surgeon (MD/DO) in good standing in at least one U.S. state
• Current owner, co-owner, managing partner, or executive decision-maker at an independent orthopedic practice
• Hands-on experience running or overseeing day-to-day practice operations
• Comfortable explaining operational processes clearly and step by step
• Able to participate in remote calls from a private workspace
• U.S.-based

Engagement details

Rate: $75–200/hr

Time commitment: 2–5 hours per week

Schedule: Flexible, during U.S. business hours

Location: Fully remote

Start: Immediate

Important note

This opportunity is specifically for independent orthopedic owners, co-owners, and owner-operators. If you are an employed or staff physician without current independent practice ownership or direct decision-making authority, this role is likely not the right fit.
