JOB DESCRIPTION

MedNOW Clinics is seeking a compassionate and dependable Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to provide high-quality outpatient care.

This role is ideal for an APP who values clinical autonomy, collaboration, patient access, accurate documentation, and continuity of care. You will work with physicians, APPs, Medical Assistants, Front Desk staff, Clinic Managers, and support teams to ensure patients receive coordinated care and clear follow-up.

• Evaluate and manage patients during initial, follow-up, preventive, and problem-focused visits.
• Obtain appropriate histories, perform examinations, develop differential diagnoses, and create evidence-based treatment plans.
• Recognize urgent or unstable conditions and arrange the appropriate level of care.
• Order, review, interpret, and follow up on laboratory work, imaging, and other diagnostic studies.
• Prescribe medications within your license, prescriptive authority, approved privileges, and applicable safety requirements.
• Use appropriate controlled-substance safeguards and the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program when required.
• Provide clear patient education, shared decision-making, return precautions, and follow-up instructions.
• Respect patient autonomy and document informed refusal when appropriate.
• Complete accurate, timely, and compliant documentation, diagnoses, orders, and coding.
• Maintain current medication, allergy, and problem lists.
• Review assigned messages, refill requests, results, referrals, and clinical work queues.
• Communicate results promptly and ensure urgent findings receive immediate follow-up.
• Track referrals and follow-up needs until responsibility and completion are confirmed.
• Help patients access care by using clinical review, appropriate scheduling options, and team escalation rather than turning patients away because a schedule appears full.
• Identify and address preventive-care needs, chronic-care gaps, and quality measures.
• Support value-based care initiatives and attributed-patient follow-up.
• Collaborate with physicians, APPs, Medical Assistants, Front Desk staff, specialists, and clinic leadership.
• Delegate only within each team member’s training and role.
• Seek consultation or escalate care when a case is outside your experience, approved services, privileges, or available clinic resources.
• Participate in quality improvement, peer review, team meetings, training, and continuing professional development.
• Maintain all required licenses, certifications, credentialing, payer enrollment, and professional records.

• Graduate degree from an accredited Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant program.
• Current national board certification appropriate to the applicant’s professional role and population focus.
• Current, unrestricted Colorado NP/APN or PA license, or documented eligibility to obtain the required Colorado license before starting.
• Current NPI and ability to complete MedNOW and payer credentialing requirements.
• Role-appropriate prescriptive authority or documented eligibility to obtain it before independently prescribing.
• Active DEA registration when required for the position’s prescribing responsibilities.
• Current BLS/CPR certification.
• Strong outpatient assessment, diagnostic, treatment-planning, and follow-up skills.
• Ability to recognize clinical limits and obtain consultation or a higher level of care when needed.
• Understanding of documentation, coding, medical necessity, patient privacy, and professional standards.
• Ability to work onsite for the posted schedule and meet documentation and patient-care responsibilities consistently.

Physician Assistants must meet applicable Colorado collaborative or supervisory agreement requirements. Nurse Practitioners must maintain the Colorado registrations and prescriptive authority required for their assigned duties.
