Primary Care Physician, Full-Time | Compass Clinic | South King County, WA
We are seeking a board-certified or board-eligible Primary Care Physician who thrives in a value-based, patient-centered care environment. The ideal candidate will work closely with a dedicated interdisciplinary team-including an Advanced Practice Provider (APP), nurse care manager, behavioral health therapist, and clinical pharmacist-to deliver high-touch, coordinated care to a defined patient panel.
This is not a typical fee-for-service role. Our providers focus on long-term outcomes rather than visit volume. In this role, you will collaborate with other physicians, nurses, therapists, and pharmacists to deliver comprehensive care to patients enrolled in value-based care programs, such as Medicare Shared Savings Programs (MSSP). Your contributions will be pivotal in reducing the total cost of care, improving quality metrics, and ensuring equitable access.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary point of accountability for a panel of patients, focusing on preventive, chronic, and acute care management.
- Collaborate daily with a multidisciplinary team, including an RN or LPN, APP, behavioral health specialist, and clinical pharmacist to optimize patient outcomes.
- Utilize population health tools and data analytics to proactively identify and close care gaps, reduce hospitalizations, and manage high-risk patients.
- Lead and participate in regular case conferences, team huddles, and quality improvement initiatives.
- Minimize unnecessary utilization through evidence-based, cost-conscious decision-making.
- Leverage technology (e.g., EHRs, telehealth, remote monitoring) to extend care beyond traditional visits.
- Participate in quality reporting programs and value-based performance measurement.
- Act as a mentor and clinical leader within the care team.
Qualifications
- MD or DO from an accredited medical school.
- Board-certified or board-eligible in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or Geriatrics.
- Active and unrestricted medical license in WA
- Passion for team-based care and experience in a collaborative clinical setting preferred.
- Experience in value-based care, risk-based contracts, or population health is a strong plus.
- Strong communication and leadership skills.
- Comfortable working with EHR systems and data analytics tools.
Preferred Experience
- Prior work in risk-based or capitated environments.
- Familiarity with HEDIS measures, Medicare Advantage plans, and/or Accountable Care Organizations (ACO).
- Experience working with medically complex and socially vulnerable populations.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary with value-based performance bonuses.
- Opportunities for leadership, quality improvement, and innovation in care delivery.
Salary
Base Salary: $330,000 - $350,000 + Strategic Incentive
