About the position

At UnitedHealthcare, we are dedicated to simplifying the health care experience, creating healthier communities, and removing barriers to quality care. The work you do here impacts the lives of millions of people for the better. We invite you to join us in building the health care system of tomorrow, making it more responsive, affordable, and equitable. Primary Care Plus is seeking well-qualified Internal Medicine and Family Practice physicians to join our expanding practice in Louisiana. Our clinics are part of a clinically integrated network designed to provide enhanced care to Medicare Advantage, Quality plan, and ACO members by delivering high-quality, coordinated healthcare that produces superior outcomes in a cost-effective manner. Our clinical team consists of physicians, APRNs, RN Care Managers, clinic support staff, and a Quality Improvement team who collaborate to coordinate care for patients in both outpatient and inpatient settings. We have a robust transitional care and high-risk outreach program that provides physicians with additional information to support their patients outside of the clinic. PCPlus utilizes a sophisticated electronic medical record system and robust analytical data analysis to identify patients at high risk for poor outcomes, aiming to improve their quality of life. Feedback is consistently provided to the clinical team on all business objectives, including quality measures, diagnostic accuracy, and hospitalization rates. Physicians are evaluated based on the outcomes of their patient panels rather than productivity or RVUs, with most caring for panels in the 600-800 range and appointments scheduled for 30-60 minutes per patient. The Primary Care Physician (PCP) is a Licensed/Board Certified/Board Eligible professional in internal or family medicine who plays a crucial role in the clinical operations team, providing direct patient care and assessments primarily in the ambulatory health care center setting or elsewhere as deemed necessary. Responsibilities include participating in clinical rounds and conferences, in-depth documentation through written progress notes and summaries, and demonstrating the ability to function both independently and collaboratively with other health care professionals. The PCP will consult with applicable managers and medical directors to ensure compliance with guidelines and participate in risk and quality management programs, clinical meetings, and other required meetings. Adherence to strict departmental goals, standards of performance, regulatory compliance, quality patient care compliance, and policies and procedures is essential. PCPlus offers highly competitive salaries with opportunities for annual merit increases and bonus potential, along with a full benefits package including PTO, CME time and reimbursement, malpractice insurance, relocation assistance, a sign-on bonus, and an employee stock purchase plan through our parent company, UnitedHealthcare.
