About Compass PLUS

Compass PLUS supports the highest-risk patients in the Mass General Brigham (MGB) Medicaid Accountable Care Organization (ACO), addressing clinical complexity and social determinants of health through a high-touch, collaborative care model.

The program delivers intensive, wraparound support through geographically aligned care teams that include a Nurse Practitioner, Nurse, Behavioral Health Clinician, and Community Health Worker.

For a subset of patients with the greatest needs, primary care may transition fully to the Compass PLUS physician, with the goal of reintegrating patients into traditional primary care settings in the future when appropriate.

About the Role

Compass PLUS delivers care mainly in homes and communities, allowing them to address obstacles and reach patients directly. The PCP will also have clinic space available to see patients in an office setting when needed.
