About Hopscotch Primary Care

At Hopscotch Primary Care, we believe great healthcare should be accessible to all people across all communities. Today, almost 20% of Americans live in a rural community, yet only 11% of physicians practice in those same communities. We are on a mission to transform healthcare in rural America. We provide high-quality primary care tailored to meet the needs of our patients through our robust care model and comprehensive care team, delivering care in our clinics, and across settings, and wrapping resources around the patients who need them most.

Our patients and the care teams who serve them sit at the center of everything we do at Hopscotch. Hopscotch Primary Care takes a team approach to serve patient needs and provide the best care possible. Our goal is to provide the care each of us would want for ourselves or for our family members, in the right setting, and at the right time.

Today, we are serving thousands of patients in our value-based care model and the number is growing every day. If you want to bring your experience, skill and passion to make a lasting impact in healthcare, we'd like to meet you.

Hopscotch Primary Care is reimagining primary care for older adults in the rural communities of Western North Carolina. We give our clinicians the time, team, and tools to practice medicine the way it should be — focused on the patient, not the paperwork. That means an average of 15 patients per day , smaller panels, longer appointments with charting time built in, and a dedicated support team behind every visit.

We're hiring a Physician Assistant in Brevard, NC to deliver comprehensive, interdisciplinary primary care with a focus on patient outcomes, quality, and experience.

• Deliver comprehensive primary care to a set patient panel, including office and telehealth visits for routine and acute needs
• Complete comprehensive annual wellness visits and health risk assessments
• Work closely with physicians, community health workers, case managers, pharmacists, and other team members to deliver high-quality outcomes
• Practice with a continuous-improvement mindset — following evidence-based guidelines and helping innovate care models that solve real problems for patients
• Meet high benchmarks on quality metrics and outcomes, including patient experience, STARS/HEDIS, and utilization

• Certified Physician Assistant with an active, non-probationary North Carolina license (or eligibility to license in NC)
• Minimum of two years' experience in a primary care specialty (internal medicine, geriatrics, or family medicine)
• Experience with HCC (Hierarchical Condition Categories) documentation, ICD-10 coding, and Health Risk Assessments (HRAs)
• Proficiency with EHRs and multiple software platforms, including spreadsheets and data entry/navigation
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• US work authorization

In addition to competitive compensation, Hopscotch team members enjoy a work environment built around better care:

• A dedicated Medical Assistant and Clinical Documentation Specialist, so you can focus on the patient, not the paperwork

• NHSC (National Health Service Corps) loan repayment options
• Opportunities for advancement in a growing organization
• A culture rooted in our values: Patients first, team always; Make every moment count; Bring joy to the journey; Data, Insight, Action; and Rise to the challenge
