Job Description

Last Update: 11/03/16
Patient-centered primary care, through an Employer-Sponsored Direct Primary Care, is an innovative approach enabling providers to transform their careers. 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 Paladina Health™, the leader in bringing this transformative model to healthcare!

Our Employer-Sponsored Direct Primary Care model offers many benefits to both providers and their patients:

Enhanced Relationships: Patient panels are limited to 600-800 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.

Competitive Salary: We offer a competitive base salary with significant upside potential resulting from a quality and satisfaction-based bonus program... no production incentives.

Paladina Health™ is a subsidiary of DaVita Healthcare Partners, Inc., and currently operates primary care clinics on-site or near employer facilities in 12 states. Our clients are located in urban, midsize, and rural locations throughout the country.
