Primary Care APP - Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant

About the role

Frontier Direct Care delivers direct primary care (DPC) to employer-sponsored patient populations. Our providers manage a defined patient panel with an emphasis on continuity, preventive care, and chronic disease management - a model built around lower daily patient volume and longer visit times than traditional fee-for-service primary care.

We're hiring Family Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants to serve as the primary clinician to provide support, treatment and management to patients. This is a full-scope, hands-on primary care role: you'll manage chronic disease, perform in-office procedures, and build long-term relationships with patients rather than cycling through high-volume, short visits.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide longitudinal primary care across chronic disease management, preventive care, and acute visits to members.
• Perform in-office procedures including I&Ds, suturing and suture removal, skin biopsies, and men's and women's health exams
• Conduct visits in person, by phone, and by secure text/video, with typical visit lengths of 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on patient need
• Diagnose and manage chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia) with the panel size and visit time needed to intervene before conditions progress
• Coordinate daily patient care and task delegation with an assigned Medical Assistant
• Document all visits and maintain patient records in the EHR.
• Maintain 24/7/365 on-call access for patient communication via a company-provided secure line (Twilio-based; personal phone number is never shared with patients)
• Work under a collaborating/delegating physician in accordance with Texas Medical Board supervision requirements
• Participate in weekly team meetings and 1:1s and other clinical meetings as requested or required.

Requirements

• Active, unencumbered Texas licensure as a PA (NCCPA-certified) OR APRN-FNP (national board certified)
• Minimum 2 years of post-graduate experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant in family practice or primary care
• Demonstrated experience managing patients across the lifespan (pediatric through geriatric)
• Hands-on experience performing I&Ds, suturing/suture removal, skin biopsies, IV placement, and men's/women's health exams
• Active, unrestricted DEA registration, or ability to obtain prior to start
• Current BLS certification, or ability to obtain within 30 days of employment
• Proficiency with electronic medical records and scheduling software

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in direct primary care, concierge medicine, or an employer-sponsored clinic model
• Bilingual (English/Spanish)
• Experience owning or managing a patient panel with full clinical autonomy
• Multistate licensure or telehealth experience
• Comfort with a lower-volume, higher-touch practice model versus high-throughput fee-for-service
