About the Job

You will provide patient-centered primary care, to employees at assigned Marathon Health Centers through an Employer‑Sponsored Direct Primary Care. This is an exciting opportunity for a primary care career where you can truly have it all: a smaller panel where you spend as much time as you want with your patients, without financial risk. Welcome to Marathon Health™, the leader in bringing this transformative model to healthcare!

Employer‑Sponsored Direct Primary Care Model Benefits

• Enhanced Relationships: Patient panels are limited to 800‑1,000 patients, and patient‑centered medicine in a capitated‑fee environment allows providers to have individual patient visits without time restrictions. Appointments of 30‑60 minutes allow extra time for the care team to spend with patients.
• Aligned Incentives: Our providers focus on improving health outcomes, driving patient engagement, and creating an atmosphere where patients are highly satisfied with high‑touch service from their care team. We remove the distorted fee‑for‑service incentives – all care provided by providers is included in our monthly membership fee (paid for by the employer).
• Focus on Preventive Care: We facilitate an environment which provides providers with the opportunity to proactively work with patients to prevent diseases and injuries by making lifestyle changes prior to diagnosis. Our providers provide health care, not sick care.
• Flexible Practice Approach with Improved Quality of Life for You and Your Family: Our providers enjoy an insurance‑free work environment, as we rarely bill insurance, alleviating hours of paperwork and increasing the time to focus on patient care. Our providers are no longer chained to a physical office environment to interact with patients. By leveraging technology, providers can consult with their patients and provide access in the way we all live and work today – through our mobile phones and secure email access.
• Improved Medical Model: Our Employer‑Sponsored Medical Home model utilizes electronic medical records and rigorous population management tools to assist our clinical teams in providing state‑of‑the‑art care. Dedication to quality, clinical outcomes and service experience for patients is truly the focus.
• Collaborative Oversight: Our Physicians demonstrate a commitment to interdisciplinary teamwork and actively collaborate with at least two or more Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) within the organization.
