Job description
Olympus Health coordinates and performs disability determination physicals for various local and governmental agencies such as Medicare and the Social Security Administration in Georgia and multiple other states around the country.
We provide this service in the area 1-2 days per month (generally on Saturdays) so you don t need to be concerned about conflicts to your personal or professional time elsewhere! Generally, each clinic (depending on the number of patients scheduled) will be scheduled from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
PERTINENT INFORMATION As the provider, you will provide disability examinations and evaluations that primarily test the claimant s function and range of motion. The evaluation you will perform will be solely in connection with the determination of the patient s entitlement to Social Security disability or Medicaid benefits. You will not be establishing a doctor-patient relationship nor be providing any diagnosis, advice, or treatment to the claimants, nor will you be deciding whether the claimant is eligible for benefits. You will be provided with a clear template of specific tests to perform and document your assessment of such tests.
We schedule each clinic about 6-8 weeks in advance and can work around your schedule as a resident. Payment is issued immediately upon completion of the charts , so there is no waiting for billing.
We will pay $50 per patient seen for the conducting of these physicals. That comes out to be about $80-$100 an hour. On average you can expect to conduct about 14-16 physicals during the 1 day/month clinic.
