Entry Level Risk Adjustment Coder Jobs in Gaithersburg, MD

Nanoom Med is an independent primary care practice located in Catonsville, Maryland, dedicated to delivering personalized, high-quality care to the community. The practice proudly serves a diverse East Asian patient population, including many senior patients, while providing comprehensive primary care services to adults and families.

Our small, collaborative care team prioritizes strong patient relationships, preventive care, and thoughtful management of chronic conditions. We are committed to creating a welcoming, culturally competent environment where patients feel heard, respected, and supported throughout their healthcare journey.

Nanoom Med is seeking a Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) to join our growing outpatient practice. Candidates with fluency in Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, or Japanese — or those with strong cultural familiarity and experience serving East Asian communities — are highly encouraged to apply.

As part of a close-knit clinical team, you will provide comprehensive primary care services, manage chronic conditions, and support preventive health initiatives. This role offers the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients from East Asian backgrounds, many of whom are seniors, while practicing in a supportive and collaborative environment.

Providers in our practice work both independently and alongside physicians to ensure continuity of care and excellent patient outcomes.

At Nanoom Med, we believe culturally competent healthcare is essential to improving patient trust, communication, and long-term health outcomes. Many patients within East Asian communities — particularly seniors — may face language barriers, healthcare hesitancy, or difficulty navigating the medical system. Providers who understand the cultural values, communication styles, family dynamics, and healthcare perspectives common within these communities are often able to build deeper patient relationships and deliver more effective care.

This cultural connection plays a significant role in preventive medicine, chronic disease management, medication compliance, and patient follow-through. Patients are more likely to openly discuss symptoms, ask questions, and engage in treatment plans when they feel understood and respected. Our goal is to provide not only excellent clinical care, but also a healthcare experience that feels comfortable, compassionate, and personalized for the communities we serve.
