Rheumatologist; Ohio Virtual, No Prior Auths

And Health is on a mission to radically improve access and outcomes for the most challenging chronic health conditions, with the goal of making world-class specialty care accessible and affordable to all. We partner with health systems, community health centers, and independent practices to remove barriers to care and ensure all people have access to the care they deserve.

We're looking for a mission-driven Rheumatologist to join our growing specialty care team, delivering high-quality care to patients with complex, chronic musculoskeletal and autoimmune conditions.

You own a panel from the start, and the shape of the work changes as that panel grows. Early on the focus is access, seeing new patients who have often waited months for a rheumatology appointment. As your patient base builds, more of your time moves to longitudinal management of the patients in your panel. The pace of that shift varies by physician, by market, and by how quickly referrals build.

You practice as part of a care team, with Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) and Clinical Pharmacists alongside you, and the team takes on more of the panel as it matures. Over time you may take on more ownership of protocol design and clinical program development, and building the referring provider relationships that feed your practice. Compensation is structured as a base salary plus a variable component tied to panel performance, including patient experience and clinical outcomes.

Day to day, the role is focused on the clinical work that only a physician can do: complex evaluations, treatment strategy, specialist consultations, and oversight of escalated cases. Our multidisciplinary team handles much of the administrative and coordinative work traditionally placed on specialists. Prior authorizations are managed by our team, not you. Routine follow-up and medication management are supported by APPs and Clinical Pharmacists.

Care coordination across our Community Health Center partners is handled by Patient Navigators and Registered Nurses (RNs).

This position reports to the Chief Medical Officer.

Most rheumatology practices are built around throughput. Ours isn’t. Our focus is on getting patients to an effective treatment, including access to specialty medication and non-covered services, as quickly as possible.

Our care model is designed around multidisciplinary specialty care teams that allow physicians to practice at the top of their license. You'll work alongside Advanced Practice Providers, Clinical Pharmacists, Registered Nurses, Patient Navigators, and Health Coaches who collectively support the patient journey and reduce administrative burden on physicians.

Your caseload is focused on patients with complex inflammatory arthritis and systemic autoimmune disease, diagnostically challenging presentations, and cases where physician-level expertise has significant impact. Your schedule is built around new patient evaluations, specialist consultations, and the ongoing management of your own panel rather than high-volume routine visits and RVU-driven throughput.

Our hybrid care model combines virtual care with periodic in-person sessions at Community Health Center partner sites, allowing physicians to build meaningful patient relationships while expanding access to specialty care in underserved communities.

Those partnerships matter. Many of our patients have waited months to see a rheumatologist. This is an opportunity to deliver specialty care to patients who otherwise may not have access to it.

• Develop individualized treatment plans integrating medical therapy, lifestyle interventions, and whole-person care approaches.
• Educate patients on disease processes, treatment pathways, and long-term management strategies.
• Identify co-occurring or contributing conditions that may impact diagnosis, treatment response, or patient outcomes.
