Job description

Nurse Practitioner, Advanced Practice Provider

We're building a world of health around every individual — shaping a more connected, convenient and compassionate health experience. At CVS Health®, you'll be surrounded by passionate colleagues who care deeply, innovate with purpose, hold ourselves accountable and prioritize safety and quality in everything we do. Join us and be part of something bigger – helping to simplify health care one person, one family and one community at a time.

The purpose of a Nurse Practitioner at Oak Street Health is to provide effective and equitable value-based primary care to adults on Medicare to keep them happy, healthy, and out of the hospital. Nurse Practitioners see patients independently and collaborate with physicians, depending on the patient's specific situation. Nurse Practitioners provide longitudinal care and build meaningful patient relationships; this creates trust and helps our patients understand and feel connected to their care plan.

Nurse Practitioners practice in our outpatient practices on a collaborative care team composed of a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant, medical assistants, a dedicated medical scribe, and support from registered nurses and care managers. We partner with a network of elite specialists and hospitals for specialty and acute care. As such, our healthcare providers can focus on care within the clinic: primary care, care coordination, and population health.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Provision of exceptional primary care.
  • Conduct office visits for routine and acute issues.
  • Administer annual wellness visits and health risk assessments, which require a holistic view of health and a focus on thoughtful, accurate, and specific documentation.
  • Care coordination with other providers, specialists, testing facilities, and agencies.
  • Population health leadership, in coordination with the Care Team (e.g., making sure all eligible females get their evidence-based breast cancer screening every 2 years)
  • Assisting the care team with phone triage and outreach.
  • Educating patients on their health conditions, care plans, and treatments.
  • Participating in Oak Street Health promotional activities.
  • Conducting home visits as needed.
  • Other duties, as assigned.

This role reports to the Center Medical Director and works closely with operational leadership.

Required Qualifications:

  • Master of Science in Nursing, Doctor of Nursing Practice, or NP Certificate Program graduate
  • National certification in at least one of the following specialties:
    • Family Nurse Practitioner
    • Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
    • Adult Nurse Practitioner
    • Gerontological Nurse Practitioner
  • Active, non-probationary state Nurse Practitioner license
  • Active DEA license
  • US Work Authorization

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in primary care: internal medicine, geriatrics, or family medicine
  • Understands HCC (Hierarchical Condition Categories) documentation, ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases-10) Coding, and Health Risk Assessments (HRAs).
  • Passion for teamwork and the opportunity to collaborate cross-functionally
  • Desires to be a part of an innovative model focused on empirically-guided population health
  • Bilingual proficiency in applicable areas

Anticipated Weekly Hours: 40

Time Type: Full time

Pay Range: The typical pay range for this role is: $78,331.00 - $168,714.00. This pay range represents the base hourly rate or base annual full-time salary for all positions in the job grade within which this position falls. The actual base salary offer will depend on a variety of factors including experience, education, geography and other relevant factors.

Our people fuel our future. Our teams reflect the customers, patients, members and communities we serve and we are committed to fostering a workplace where every colleague feels valued and that they belong.

Great benefits for great people

We take pride in our comprehensive and competitive mix of pay and benefits – investing in the physical, emotional and financial wellness of our colleagues and their families to help them be the healthiest they can be. In addition to our competitive wages, our great benefits include:

  • Affordable medical plan options, a 401(k) plan (including matching company contributions), and an employee stock purchase plan.
  • No-cost programs for all colleagues including wellness screenings, tobacco cessation and weight management programs, confidential counseling and financial coaching.
  • Benefit solutions that address the different needs and preferences of our colleagues including paid time off, flexible work schedules, family leave, dependent care resources, colleague assistance programs, tuition assistance, retiree medical access and many other benefits depending on eligibility.
