About The Position

CVS Health MinuteClinic is hiring an Advanced Practice Provider (Nurse Practitioner or Physician Associate) for a full-time, clinic-based role at its Houston clinic on Bellaire Boulevard. The position focuses on delivering high-quality in-person primary and family care.

Providers have clinical autonomy, collaborative support, evidence-based resources, and opportunities for professional development. Charting and follow-up are completed during scheduled shifts. The role includes assessing, diagnosing, treating, and managing acute and chronic conditions; preventive and wellness care; diagnostic testing; treatment of injuries and illnesses; and coordination with other healthcare professionals. Clinic operations also include inventory management, opening and closing the clinic, patient follow-up, insurance verification, and payment collection. The position requires physical presence at the assigned clinic. The stated hourly pay range for this Houston location is $66.50–$77.50, based on experience, plus shift differentials and a quarterly incentive plan. The broader job-grade pay range is $46.03–$99.14 per hour. Actual pay depends on factors including experience, education, and geography. The position is also eligible for a CVS Health bonus, commission, or short-term incentive program.
