Job description

Join an organization where the mission is to transform the way healthcare is delivered for those with kidney disease so they can lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
This is a model with RNs, Social Workers, and Nurse Practitioners so that nephrologists don’t have to work all by themselves. Nephrologists are hired for the skill of their intellect, not for the labor of their hands.

Nephrologists focus on improving quality outcomes for health plan members suffering from kidney disease. They manage a much smaller panel of patients than in the typical nephrology practice, providing care in a way that promotes patient engagement long before ESRD, resulting in delayed disease progression. For patients with kidney failure, Nephrologists prioritize informed patient choice, permanent vascular access, and planned dialysis starts or close medical management, depending on the clinically appropriate choice.

Collaborate with the Medical Director to proactively identify CKD and ESRD members in predefined geographic region. Apply evidence-based criteria in determining the necessity of care; whether dialytic or non-dialytic care is the correct pathway.
Round on incident hemodialysis/ peritoneal dialysis members.
Round on patient panel (if admitted) in local hospitals within a defined geographic market.
Reduce unnecessary episodes of care.
Identify and make practical pointed interventions to improve care.
Maintain active privileges at local dialysis centers and hospitals.
Review annual wellness visit assessments to ensure proper coding and provision of medical diagnosis.
Assist in the training of NPs and other field providers.
Participate in monthly sessions with the RMD & CMO.

2+ years of nephrology experience.
Experience applying evidence-based clinical criteria.

Incentive bonus, Relocation assistance, vision, dental, life, malpractice, vacation, PTO, CME, 401K
