About the Role

Matter Health is seeking a Nurse Practitioner to support older adults in Detroit, MI.

At Matter Health, our NPs are more than just providers — they are Panel Owners. You will manage a dedicated panel of older adults as their ongoing primary care provider, building strong, lasting relationships within the communities you serve.

This is a fully community-based position with no traditional clinic home base. Nurse Practitioners regularly travel throughout their assigned market to provide care in affordable housing communities and patients' homes, building strong relationships and ensuring consistent access to care across their designated territory. Nurse Practitioners work with a high degree of clinical autonomy while collaborating closely with an interdisciplinary care team and a dedicated Medical Director for support in complex cases.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide ongoing primary and preventive care to older adult patient populations

• Participate in a rotating after-hours on-call schedule to support patient care needs and appropriate clinical escalation.

• Manage and grow a dedicated patient panel within assigned communities

• Deliver relationship-driven, patient-centered care in community settings

• Collaborate with interdisciplinary clinical and operational teams

• Support initiatives in preventative care, chronic disease management, and care coordination

• Utilize a combination of telehealth and in-person care delivery models to improve accessibility

• Maintain accurate, timely EHR documentation and ensure coding specificity

Qualifications

• Graduate degree (Master’s or Doctorate) from an accredited Nurse Practitioner program

• Active, unrestricted Nurse Practitioner license in Michigan

• Current national board certification as a Nurse Practitioner through an approved certifying body such as AANPCB or ANCC, with certification appropriate to the patient population served (Family, Adult, Gerontology, or Adult-Gerontology)

• Ability to meet applicable professional credentialing, enrollment, and privileging requirements

• 3+ years of clinical experience as a Nurse Practitioner, preferably working with aging or medically complex populations

• Basic Life Support (BLS) certification

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (car stipend provided)

• Experience with EHR documentation (athenahealth preferred)

• Commitment to equitable, patient-centered care

Strongly Preferred

• Active DEA registration and ability to meet applicable Michigan controlled substance prescribing requirements

• Background in family medicine, internal medicine, adult medicine, or geriatrics

• Experience in value-based care settings

• Experience providing care in community-based, in-home, or non-traditional healthcare environments

• Familiarity with MEAT documentation and chronic condition coding

• Telehealth experience
