Nurse Practitioner - Virtual Primary Care & Virtual Urgent Care (hiring multiple states!)

First Stop Health is in search of part-time advanced practice providers to join our team supporting both Virtual Primary Care and Virtual Urgent Care. First Stop Health’s mission is to help our employer clients reduce their overall health claims spend by serving their members virtually, keeping them away from in-person medical care when possible. Our primary care providers will treat patients virtually, via phone or video call, serving their episodic, chronic, and preventive care needs. 

When appropriate, we send patients for in-person lab work or imaging. Please note that no coding or billing is required for the virtual visit since First Stop Health does not submit claims to insurance. Providers find our web-based platform very straightforward and easy to navigate. Malpractice insurance is provided for encounters on our platform.

• Manage patients with conditions including hypertension, type II diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, anxiety, and depression 
• Assist patients in managing women’s and men’s health concerns, and advise on lifestyle regimens such as proper nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction

• Operate as part of a care team to ensure patients are cared for in a timely, efficient manner
