Advanced Practice Provider – Medicare Wellness / Preventive Care

Cahaba Medical Care Foundation • Centreville, AL

76d • Hybrid

About The Position

Cahaba Medical Care Foundation is a community health center organization providing medical, pharmacy, dental, and behavioral health services to diverse underserved communities in Jefferson, Bibb, Perry, and Chilton counties. We are a Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Home and Joint Commission accredited organization, committed to increasing integration and coordination of behavioral health and primary care. This is an exciting, fast paced practice with a strong mission and commitment to providing high quality care. This position requires a mission-driven and detail-oriented Advanced Practice Provider (APP) to serve as our lead clinician for Medicare Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs), preventive care services, and related quality initiatives. This is a high-impact position designed to help our organization improve preventive care rates and quality outcomes across all 28 Cahaba Medical Care clinics. The ideal candidate will have a passion for health promotion, quality improvement, and rural health equity. This provider will perform in-person wellness visits across our locations, follow up on necessary documentation (including insurer-specific requirements), and support training for other staff and providers in performing high-quality, compliant AWVs. This position reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Medical Officer (CMO), and works in close coordination with the Quality Improvement Officer. Cahaba Medical Care expects all of our licensed providers to host learners from time to time, since we are a teaching institution. This is our pipeline for recruiting excellent providers who want to serve the populations we take care of. Every student we accept applies for the chance to be here through a competitive process and is reviewed and assessed for their likelihood of working in an underserved, underresourced area in the future. We want to ensure they fit our mission. We try to give our newer providers time to get settled before adding them to our pool of available preceptors, and we offer best practices for integrating learners into your clinic without compromising efficiency.
