About The Position

Manage pulmonary follow-up and treatment planning for patients with chronic lung disease, focusing on symptoms, function, medications, and patients’ day-to-day needs. The role owns a defined patient panel and aims to improve breathing, support safer transitions, reduce avoidable crises, and keep clinic operations timely and thorough.

Practice in a physician-collaborative pulmonary setting with a dedicated medical assistant, respiratory therapy support, an established EHR, and a referral network. A collaborating pulmonologist is available for complex decisions. Scheduling, prior authorization, and care coordination are shared to preserve clinical time.

Requirements

• Active nurse practitioner license and national certification as an AGNP, FNP, or ACNP, with prescriptive authority in the practice state.
• At least two years of experience in pulmonary care, critical care, hospital medicine, or complex chronic-disease practice.
• Comfort managing inhalers, oxygen, steroids, and biologics.
• Ability to read spirometry and act on the results.
• DEA registration and current BLS certification.
• Clear, efficient documentation skills.
• Ability to explain a plan in plain language to patients and families.

Nice To Haves

• ACLS certification, preferred if the site includes higher-acuity coverage.

Responsibilities

• Manage a defined panel of patients with COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, and sleep-related breathing disorders, adjusting therapy to guideline targets and documented goals.
• Conduct new and return visits, establishing a clear diagnosis and written plan and ensuring patient understanding.
• Reduce avoidable exacerbations and 30-day returns by improving inhaler technique, oxygen use, action plans, and timely follow-up after hospital or emergency department care.
• Order and interpret pulmonary function tests, imaging, and laboratory tests in context, and escalate complex or unstable cases to the collaborating pulmonologist the same day.
• Coordinate with respiratory therapy, sleep medicine, primary care, and palliative care partners to complete referrals, authorizations, and home services.
• Document and code visits to support medical necessity, quality measures, and accurate billing.
• Maintain a reliable schedule, provide same-week access for urgent pulmonary needs, and manage no-show and results-follow-up processes.
• Explain care plans clearly to patients and families.
