Primary Care Physician

ChenMed is a physician-led, mission-driven primary care organization dedicated to transforming healthcare for the neediest populations, particularly seniors under full-risk Medicare Advantage plans. With a focus on delivering affordable VIP care, ChenMed has rapidly become one of the nation’s most successful primary care providers. The company’s vision is to be America’s leading primary care provider by honoring seniors with high-quality, personalized care that supports better health outcomes. Family-owned and physician-led, ChenMed’s innovative approach to healthcare emphasizes building trusting relationships between physicians and patients, addressing both medical needs and lifestyle factors to drive impactful, sustainable health improvements.\n\nThe Primary Care Physician (PCP) role at ChenMed is pivotal in fulfilling the mission and vision of the organization. Unlike traditional primary care roles, the PCP functions as more than a medical consultant; they act as a health coach who partners closely with patients to set and achieve meaningful health goals. Each PCP manages a patient panel limited to around 450 individuals, ensuring personalized, accountable, and cost-effective care. PCPs are measured by key performance metrics including patient admissions, appointment utilization, patient experience scores (CGCAHPS), clinical gap closures, and cost management.\n\nPCPs at ChenMed are expected to lead their care teams, which comprise care promoters (medical assistants), care facilitators, and care coordinators. They provide comprehensive care not only to patients visiting the center but also to those in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, long-term care, or homebound settings by collaborating with transitional care teams and case managers. Leadership within the center is a key responsibility, with PCPs contributing to maintaining a culture of love, accountability, and passion. They also support recruiting efforts for patients and providers, covering for colleagues as needed, and supervising advanced practice practitioners.\n\nChenMed values independent judgment balanced with collaborative healthcare delivery. PCPs engage actively with hospitalists and specialist consultants to ensure continuity and quality of care. They are expected to comply with all company policies, regulatory standards, and quality metrics, participating in risk management programs and clinical meetings dedicated to improving patient outcomes.\n\nThe organization prioritizes competencies such as availability and accessibility to patients, service orientation, evidence-based medicine combined with lifestyle and nutritional insights, and ongoing physician leadership development. PCP wellness and self-care are also emphasized to promote sustainability and maximize the positive impact on patients, staff, and the broader community. Proficiency in Microsoft Office, willingness to travel for training and recruitment, and excellent communication skills are required.\n\nEducationally, candidates must possess an MD or DO in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Geriatrics, or a similar specialty. Active medical licensure and board eligibility or certification are mandatory, as well as certification in Basic Life Support. The pay range for the role is from $221,141 to $315,915 annually, with final compensation based on experience and other factors. Additional bonuses or commissions may apply. ChenMed offers comprehensive employee benefits, career development, and work-life balance opportunities, making it an ideal place for motivated and compassionate primary care physicians to grow their careers and make a real difference in the lives of seniors.
