About the Role

Matter Health is seeking a Nurse Practitioner to support older adults in Springfield, MA.

• Manage and grow a dedicated patient panel within assigned communities
• Deliver relationship-driven, patient-centered care in community settings
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary clinical and operational teams
• Support initiatives in preventative care, chronic disease management, and care coordination
• Utilize a combination of telehealth and in-person care delivery models to improve accessibility
• Maintain accurate, timely EHR documentation and ensure coding specificity

Qualifications

• Active, unrestricted Nurse Practitioner license in Massachusetts
• Independent practice authority in Massachusetts, or eligibility to obtain it
• Active DEA license and controlled substance registration, or the ability to obtain it as part of the credentialing process
• 3+ years of clinical experience as an NP, preferably with aging or medically complex populations
• Basic Life Support (BLS) certification
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (car stipend provided)
• Experience with EHR documentation (athenahealth preferred)
• Commitment to equitable, patient-centered care

Strongly Preferred

• Background in family medicine, internal medicine, adult medicine, or geriatrics
• Experience in value-based care settings
• Experience providing care in community-based, in-home, or non-traditional healthcare environments
• Familiarity with MEAT documentation and chronic condition coding
• Telehealth experience
