Advance Practice Provider NP/PA
About The Position
This is a float, clinic-based position supporting MinuteClinic locations in the North Houston area. The provider delivers high-quality primary and family care through in-person visits and, when onsite patient volume allows without delaying in-person care, virtual visits conducted from the clinic. Providers work with clinical and organizational support and are expected to practice within their license while contributing to a safe, efficient clinic environment. The position is open to full-time or part-time candidates. Responsibilities include assessing, diagnosing, treating, and managing acute and chronic conditions; providing preventive counseling and diagnostic testing; treating injuries and illnesses; coordinating care with other health professionals; and supporting wellness services, chronic disease management, and preventive screenings. Clinic operations include inventory management, opening and closing the clinic, patient follow-up, insurance verification, payment collection, routine examinations, and timely appointment management. Charting and follow-up are completed during the scheduled shift. Nurse Practitioner candidates need a master’s degree from an accredited Family Nurse Practitioner program, current AANP or ANCC national board certification, and an active, unrestricted state APRN/FNP license. Physician Associate candidates need graduation from an ARC-PA-accredited program, the applicable degree based on program matriculation date, current NCCPA certification, and an active, unrestricted state PA license or eligibility to obtain one upon hire. Both groups must maintain applicable multistate licensure based on business needs, hold active BLS certification, complete a DOT certification exam within 30 days of employment, pass a respirator fit test, and be physically present at the assigned clinic. The role also requires the ability to perform the listed physical duties and Basic Life Support. The posting states an hourly pay rate range of $66.50–$77.50 for this position and location, based on experience, plus shift differentials and a quarterly incentive plan. It also gives a typical base pay range of $46.03–$99.14 for the job grade and notes eligibility for a CVS Health bonus, commission, or short-term incentive program. The stated full-time benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, retirement savings options, wellness programs, and other resources, subject to eligibility.
