Job Description

Optum Home & Community Care, part of the Optum family of businesses under UnitedHealth Group, is revolutionizing healthcare delivery by integrating physical, mental, and social care needs into a comprehensive care model. This innovative organization focuses on providing holistic healthcare solutions that improve patient outcomes and convenience by delivering preventive care and support directly to individuals in their homes. The HouseCalls program is a flagship offering, enabling healthcare providers to conduct in-home health assessments primarily for Medicare Advantage members and other health plan participants. By working collaboratively within an interdisciplinary care team, OptumCare helps patients navigate the complex healthcare system while closing gaps in care and fostering wellness. OptumCare values diversity, inclusion, and equitable care access, committed to reducing health disparities and improving the overall health of communities across multiple states including AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, and SC.

This specific role is for an Advanced Practice Clinician (APC), either a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant, who will work primarily in a field-based capacity conducting annual comprehensive in-home health assessments. The role supports a non-prescribing model focused on health education, chronic condition management, and coordination with primary care providers to ensure seamless patient care. The position offers a unique work-life balance with flexible scheduling between 8 am and 8 pm over a seven-day week, excluding weekends, holidays, and on-call duties, supporting providers in meeting personal and professional needs.

As an APC with Optum Home & Community Care, you will travel extensively across the designated states, approximately 85% of the time, with all travel expenses covered. You have the freedom to live anywhere within your state of practice while contributing to impactful healthcare delivery. Compensation for this role ranges between $109,500 and $164,000 annually, comprised of base salary plus incentives, and includes a $30,000 sign-on bonus or up to $40,000 student loan repayment for eligible external and internal candidates. Beyond competitive pay, employees benefit from comprehensive benefits including health insurance, incentive programs, equity stock purchase options, and 401k contributions. The program empowers clinicians to deliver preventive care that helps patients stay healthy at home, addressing medical and social determinants of health by offering referrals and education. This opportunity is ideal for compassionate and skilled clinicians who are comfortable assessing diverse home environments and engaging with Medicare and geriatric populations. OptumCare fosters professional growth by offering clear pathways for advancement and an environment that rewards high performance, providing support for clinicians to expand their skills and explore new roles within the organization.
