Primary Care Physician

Advanced Medical Management • Lakewood, WA

2d • $350,000 - $400,000

About The Position

We are seeking a mission-driven, compassionate, and forward-thinking Primary Care Physician (PCP), bilingual in Vietnamese and Cantonese, to join a full-risk, value-based care primary care practice group. The role is intended for a physician who thrives in a value-based care environment and wants to focus on relationship-based medicine, proactive health management, and personalized patient engagement.

The practice enables physicians to deliver quality care through a team-based approach, allowing providers to know their patients, manage complex conditions, and improve health outcomes while reducing avoidable utilization. Physicians deliver comprehensive, longitudinal primary care to Commercial and Medicare-age patients, with intentionally small panels of typically 400–500 patients, longer appointments, and fewer daily visit requirements.

The physician works collaboratively with an interdisciplinary team and MSO/IPA support in risk adjustment, clinical quality, care coordination, and patient engagement. The practice culture is collaborative and mission-aligned, with a focus on outcomes rather than RVUs.

Requirements

• MD or DO from an accredited medical school.
• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine.
• Active and unrestricted license in California.
• Current DEA and NPI registration.
• Bilingual in Vietnamese and Cantonese.
• Empathy, compassion, and commitment to underserved and senior populations.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to build trust and long-term relationships with patients and teams.
• Strong clinical judgment and a preventive and population health mindset.
• Comfort with EMR systems, data dashboards, and value-based care analytics.
• Commitment to team-based care, clinical transformation, and lifelong learning.

Nice To Haves

• Two to three years of outpatient primary care experience in Internal Medicine or Family Practice.
• Senior-focused or complex care experience.
• Prior exposure to Medicare Advantage, ACO, or full-risk value-based care environments.
• Experience managing chronic disease populations with multiple comorbidities.
• Strong foundation in HEDIS/STAR quality metrics, HCC risk coding, and care team leadership.

Responsibilities

• Deliver comprehensive, longitudinal primary care to a panel of Commercial and Medicare-age patients.
• Provide patient-centered appointments that allow time for whole-person care, counseling, education, and shared decision-making.
• Conduct Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs), preventive screenings, and evidence-based chronic care visits in alignment with CMS and other health plan quality metrics.
• Develop and maintain personalized care plans based on patient goals, risk factors, and social determinants of health.
• Integrate behavioral health, social support services, and care management into care plans in collaboration with the interdisciplinary team.
• Proactively identify and close care gaps aligned with HEDIS, STARS, and preventive screening measures.
• Produce accurate, complete, and compliant documentation following CMS HCC risk adjustment guidelines and MEAT criteria to support optimal RAF scoring.
• Review and act upon pre-visit planning tools, post-visit summaries, and quality dashboards supported by the MSO/IPA.
• Coordinate with Care Management, Pharmacy, Behavioral Health, and Social Work teams for complex patient needs and transitions of care.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary with performance-based bonus tied to quality outcomes, RAF accuracy, patient satisfaction, and clinical efficiency.
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• Retirement plans.
• CME support and CME days.
• Malpractice coverage.
• Generous PTO.
