With a commitment to offering affordable VIP care, ChenMed prioritizes better health outcomes for its patients by creating strong, trust-based relationships and emphasizing health coaching and preventive care.

Compensation ranges from $221,141 to $315,915 annually, with opportunities for bonuses or commissions, reflecting the organization's acknowledgment of experience, education, and geographic factors.

The Primary Care Physician (PCP) role at ChenMed is integral to the organization's mission to provide exceptional care to senior patients. The PCP manages a panel of up to 450 patients, demonstrating accountability for clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness while acting as a health coach rather than merely a consultant for treating illness. Responsibilities include building trusting relationships, prioritizing and simplifying treatment plans to facilitate behavior change, and actively engaging in achieving key clinical metrics, such as patient admissions per thousand, appointment utilization, patient experience scores, clinical gap closures, and cost management. Physicians at ChenMed lead care teams consisting of medical assistants, care facilitators, and care coordinators and collaborate with hospitalists and transitional care teams to ensure comprehensive patient management across various settings.

This position requires a dynamic physician who takes leadership seriously, contributing to a positive work culture and participating in quality management, compliance, and recruiting efforts. The PCP must be comfortable working independently and collaboratively, remain abreast of evidence-based medicine while considering lifestyle and nutritional factors, and continuously develop leadership and clinical skills. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and other software is expected, along with fluency in English and a readiness to travel locally and nationally as needed. ChenMed values physician wellness and promotes self-care for sustainable practice, recognizing that well-being is essential for providing the highest quality patient care. By joining ChenMed, physicians become part of a growing family that transforms healthcare experiences for seniors nationwide, offering career development, advancement, and a meaningful impact every day.
