Job description
NEW: Primary Care/Geriatrics Opportunity in Northern California
Primary Care Physician - 3 to 5 Days a Week
Practice the medicine you went to school for - with time to think, patients who know your name, and a schedule that gives you your life back.
Group is hiring a Primary Care Physician 3-5 days a week to care for adults 65+. This isn't urgent care or a revolving door - it's longitudinal, relationship-based primary care for Shasta County seniors, with paid administrative time built into your week. Your own panel, your own patients, your day spent practicing medicine.
The Role
- Manage your own panel scaled to your FTE. Goal 1500 patients for full time.
- 8 clinical hours per scheduled day plus 1 paid administrative hour per day. Charting is compensated, not absorbed.
- 2-2.5 patients per clinical hour - unhurried visits with time to think, not just react.
- AI-assisted charting plus built-in CCM, APCM, and RPM infrastructure - production credit and compensation for care coordination you're already doing.
Compensation: $300,000 - $500,000+
Four engines - guaranteed floor, paid admin time, production upside, and a performance bonus. Transparent by design.
- Hourly Base: $125/hour for every paid hour, clinical and administrative. Your floor, always, regardless of panel size or volume.
- Administrative Time Bonus: 1 paid admin hour per 8 clinical hours at $125/hr - built into your schedule, not squeezed out of it.
- Greater-Of Monthly wRVU: Each month you earn whichever is higher - your guaranteed base or wRVU production at $20/wRVU. Production only adds; you are never penalized for a slower ramp.
- Annual Quality Bonus: Up to $15,000 at 1.0 FTE.
Hourly base and administrative time bonus are guaranteed cash; wRVU production and the performance bonus add upside on top.
Benefits
o Healthcare Stipend: $2,000/month ($24,000/year) at 1.0 FTE, scaled to FTE - apply toward medical, dental, vision, or wellness.
o 401(k): 100% employer match up to 6% of eligible comp, eligible after 90 days.
o CME & Professional: $3,000/year for CME, dues, licensure, and DEA renewal.
o PTO: 1 hour accrued per 13 clinical hours ( 96 hrs/year at 0.75 FTE; 128 hrs/year at 1.0 FTE), with voluntary annual cash-out up option.
o Malpractice, CA License & DEA Fees: Employer-paid in full.
o Schedule Flexibility: 3-5 clinical days/week - set at contract signing, protected by written agreement.
o Relocation Support: Available. We'll help you get here.
Why we are Different
Group was built on one belief: older adults deserve primary care that is accessible, attentive, and organized around their lives - not the other way around. We serve Shasta County seniors who have too often fallen through the cracks of high-volume medicine.
o Smaller patient panels - more time per visit, fewer missed diagnoses, less burnout.
o CCM, APCM, and RPM are built into the care model - generating wRVU credit for work you're already doing.
o Same-day appointments, telehealth, and in-facility visits so patients never go without.
o Physician autonomy protected by contract - your schedule cannot be changed without your written consent.
Who We're Looking For
o MD or DO with active CA license (or eligibility); board certified/eligible in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Geriatrics.
o Active DEA
o Genuinely invested in great care - you want to know your patients, not just manage their charts.
About the Location:
Northern California's best-kept secret: abundant sunshine, a low cost of living, short commutes, and 225+ miles of trails - Shasta Lake, Whiskeytown, Lassen Volcanic National Park, and Mt. Shasta all within reach. Raise a family, own a home, and practice medicine that matters - without the cost and grind of a major metro. Not local? Relocation support is available to make the move easy.
