Job description

Primary Care APP - Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant

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.

Qualifications

• 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.
• 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.

BENEFITS

Taking Care of You Now and Your Future

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Frontier Membership for you and your immediate family.
• Voluntary insurance: short-term disability, long-term disability, life insurance, and other supplemental insurances.
• 401(k) plan: Free access to financial wellness platforms that provide financial advisors + personal finance tools.

Time Off

• Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO) policy, with team members taking an average of 20 days per year. Within this benefit, we include up to 5 unplanned days off per year.
• 9 company holidays per year.
• Parental leave policies.

Investing in Your Growth

• $1500 per year towards your professional development.
