Family Physician - Defiance, OH
About The Position
Marathon Health is a leading advanced primary care provider that partners with employers and union plan sponsors to improve the health of millions of Americans. We offer a value-based model that enhances the healthcare experience for members and providers while driving significant cost savings for plan sponsors. We are certified as a Great Place to Work®, reflecting our commitment to an inclusive, high-trust culture where all employees can thrive. We provide high-quality, proactive primary care to adults and children in partnership with local employers or unions, focusing on prevention, wellness, acute and chronic disease management, and maximizing provider-patient relationships. We seek providers passionate about full-spectrum primary care, leading to top-notch clinical quality, outstanding service, and reduced overall health costs. This role offers a smaller patient panel (less than half the traditional PCP panel size), more time with patients (appointments range from 20 to 60 minutes), fewer administrative and insurance-related tasks, and the opportunity to work within a team of professionals dedicated to improving the U.S. healthcare system. You will provide patient-centered primary care to employees at assigned Marathon Health Centers through an Employer-Sponsored Direct Primary Care model. This is an exciting opportunity for a primary care career where you can have it all: a smaller panel where you spend as much time as you want with your patients, without financial risk. Our Employer-Sponsored Direct Primary Care model offers enhanced relationships with limited patient panels (800-1000 patients) and patient-centered medicine in a capitated-fee environment, allowing 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 focus on improving health outcomes, driving patient engagement, and creating an atmosphere where patients are highly satisfied with high-touch service. We remove distorted fee-for-service incentives, with all care provided by providers included in the monthly membership fee paid by the employer. We facilitate an environment that 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. 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. By leveraging technology, providers can consult with their patients and provide access through mobile phones and secure email access. 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 the focus. Our Physicians demonstrate a commitment to interdisciplinary teamwork and actively collaborate with at least two or more Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) within the organization.
