## Description

**Telehealth Physician - Remote, US**

_Talent pipeline posting: We are building a pipeline of qualified candidates for future openings in this role. We are not filling this position immediately. We will review applications on a rolling basis and reach out as positions open._

**About Carewell**

Carewell is a category-defining business that provides trusted caregiving solutions and support for individuals and families. Through Carewell Family Services, we extend our commitment beyond products to person-centered navigation, care coordination, and advocacy services that address social determinants of health needs. Our approach emphasizes compliance, scalability, and high-quality member experiences, while partnering closely with clinicians and community resources to support better outcomes.

**About the Role**

This is an opportunity to provide clinical leadership for a growing care navigation program at a moment when your judgment will directly shape how it scales. As a Telehealth Physician, you serve as the clinical anchor for Carewell's care navigation and advocacy teams, evaluating members, guiding care plans, and making sure the non-clinical work stays clinically sound.

The role is built around three connected areas:

-   **Member Evaluation** — conducting telehealth evaluations and identifying the clinical and social needs that drive a member's care plan.
-   **Clinical Oversight** — reviewing and guiding care plans developed with nurses, social workers, and care navigators.
-   **Program Development** — building the clinical protocols, escalation pathways, and standards the program runs on.

This program is early-stage, and parts of this role are being built in real time. Processes will evolve and priorities will shift. If that sounds like an opportunity, keep reading.

**What You'll Do**

**Member Evaluation & Care**

-   Conduct telehealth evaluations with members who have complex medical, medication, or care coordination needs.
-   Identify and prioritize clinical needs, and translate them into clear next steps for the care team.
-   Coordinate with members' primary care providers and specialists to support continuity of care, rather than replace it.

**Clinical Oversight**

-   Review and sign off on care plans developed with RNs, LCSWs, and care navigators.
-   Serve as the escalation point for clinical concerns raised by the care team, and respond the same day they are identified.
-   Guide care plans that address both medical needs and social determinants of health, such as food access, transportation, and support at home.

**Program & Protocol Development**

-   Develop and maintain clinical protocols, escalation criteria, and scope-of-practice guidance for the care team.
-   Support training for nurses and care navigators on clinical red flags, medication basics, and when to escalate.
-   Partner with Compliance and program leadership on clinical quality, documentation standards, and new program design.

**Documentation & Compliance**

-   Complete accurate, timely documentation for every evaluation and care plan review.
-   Maintain licensure and credentialing, and follow all telehealth, privacy (HIPAA), and consent requirements.

**KPIs You'll Drive**

**Clinical Quality**

-   Care plan review and sign-off completed on schedule
-   Clinical escalations responded to the same day they are identified
-   Quality outcomes for engaged members, such as avoidable ED visits and readmissions

**Program**

-   Clinical protocols and escalation pathways built, maintained, and adopted by the care team
-   Documentation accuracy and timeliness

**Who You Are**

**Required**

-   Availability to work Monday–Friday, 9am–6pm ET.
-   Located in the United States and authorized to work in the U.S. without employer sponsorship.
-   MD or DO with board certification in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or Geriatrics.
-   Active, unrestricted medical license in at least one U.S. state, and willingness to obtain additional state licenses as the program expands.
-   3+ years of post-residency clinical practice.
-   Experience working in a team-based care model with nurses, social workers, or care coordinators.
-   Strong understanding of social determinants of health and how they affect outcomes.
-   Comfortable with telehealth platforms, EHRs, and care management tools.
-   Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration. You can help build a program while it runs.

**Nice to Have**

-   Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) eligibility or multiple active state licenses.
-   Active DEA registration.
-   Experience with Medicare, dual-eligible, or older adult populations.
-   Transitional care, value-based care, or population health experience.
-   Experience in a startup or new program launch.
-   Bilingual (Spanish preferred).

**Why This Role**

-   Ground-floor clinical leadership. You will shape how the program practices and scales.
-   Medicine focused on the whole member, with a team that handles coordination and follow-through.
-   Meaningful, mission-driven work with visible impact on members' lives.
-   Close partnership with care navigation leadership and program operations.

**What We Offer**

-   Competitive compensation
-   The ability to work 100% remotely
-   Health Insurance
-   PTO & Holidays
