  • Leadership & Collaboration: Educate and support the care team around palliative care, hospice care, and advanced directives. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team (IDT) and develop key relationships with local providers to improve market alignment.
  • Strategic & Administrative Duties: You will be responsible for the outcomes of your patient panel, developing and presenting metrics to executive leadership, and participating in monthly meetings to review KPIs.

    • A Doctorate Degree in Medicine.
    • Board Certified in Hospice and Palliative Medicine.

    • Expertise in managing medication panels for complex patients.
  • Experience:
    • Experience with Medicare Advantage, managed Medicaid populations, and commercial populations.
    • Experience integrating acute and behavioral health care and an appreciation of social determinants of health is required.
  • Additional Requirements:
    • Must be willing and able to obtain hospital privileges at required facilities.
    • Willingness to become licensed in multiple states as company and patient needs require.
    • Must have reliable transportation.
