Job Description

Position Title: Per Diem Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant

Job Status: Per Diem

Compensation: Rate: $150 per completed assessment

Performance Bonus: $1,000 payable in 2 installments ($500 after 15 completed assessments, $500 after 50 completed assessments)

Schedule: Flexible (Sunday-Saturday)

No Barriers. Just Great Care. With an innovative model that brings annual health risk assessments to the home, we're looking to serve more patients in the Waterville, Maine area. Join a team that's breaking down boundaries to deliver proactive, preventative screenings at no cost to the patient.

What You Will Do You'll provide annual in-home assessments (IHA) for members of Medicare, Medicaid, and Affordable Care Act plans. These 90-minute visits identify care gaps, health risks, and social determinants of health to help PCPs and health plans promote better outcomes. You will collect patient histories, document patient concerns, and provide health education. You are not responsible for lab tests, blood work, or treatment. You will be asked to:

• Perform high quality assessments to meet patient needs and health plan expectations.
• Document and submit chart notes within 24 hours of the visit.
• Address charting queries within 48 hours of receipt.
• Attend periodic training sessions and meetings pertinent to the position.

Why Our Patients Need You: Our patients need someone who'll go the distance for them, literally and figuratively. Many of our patients have physical limitations and social barriers that restrict their access to quality care. It's a vicious cycle that leads to frequent hospitalizations and higher healthcare costs. The solution starts with accurate, complete documentation! In-home assessments help identify the social determinants of health that you can't see from a doctor's office. They also give patients the time they need for meaningful conversations, ensuring their questions are thoroughly addressed.
