Job Description
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.
