Nurse Practitioner - HouseCalls - Putnam and White Counties,TN

Position Overview

Optum Home & Community Care, part of the Optum family of businesses, is creating something new in health care. We are uniting industry‑leading solutions to build an integrated care model that holistically addresses an individual’s physical, mental and social needs – helping patients access and navigate care anytime and anywhere. As a member of our House Calls team, you will help patients stay well at home by conducting annual in‑home health assessments for Medicare Advantage and other plan members.

This non‑prescribing, field‑based role focuses on improving health outcomes through education, gap closure, and collaboration with primary care providers. In this role you will have the ability to achieve work‑life balance, with flexible scheduling where providers can flex their time between 8 am‑8 pm over the 7‑day work week. No on‑call, no weekends and no holidays are required.

• Conduct comprehensive in‑home assessments, including past medical history review, medication reconciliation, vital signs, and physical exam.
• Perform evidence‑based screenings and point‑of‑care testing as appropriate.
• Identify and document diagnoses for care management and treatment planning.
• Communicate findings to members’ PCPs to address gaps in care.
• Recognize urgent/emergent situations and intervene appropriately.
• Educate members on disease processes, medications, and compliance.
• Address social determinants of health and provide referrals as needed.

• Active ANCC or AANP certification in Family, Adult, Geriatric, or Adult‑Gerontology Primary Care.
• Active, unrestricted licensure in the state where you will practice (or ability to obtain by start date) without current disciplinary actions or practice limitations.
• Active and unrestricted driver’s license and access to reliable transportation to complete home visits.
• Ability to navigate varied home environments; ability to sit, stand, and kneel as needed to perform assessments.
• If you work in a state that allows independent practice without a collaborative agreement, you must obtain approval from your licensing board (if required). New hires who are eligible but have not applied must do so within one month of starting and, if not yet eligible, must begin working toward eligibility within one month and apply for approval within three months of becoming eligible.

• One or more years of clinical experience (family, geriatric, or home health preferred).
• Proficiency with electronic medical records and technology.
• Ability to transport equipment weighing up to 30 pounds and navigate stairs during home visits.
• Proven communication skills with geriatric or Medicare populations.

Compensation for this specialty generally ranges from $109,500 to $164,000. Total cash compensation includes base pay and bonus and is based on several factors, including but not limited to local labor markets, education, work experience, and may increase over time based on productivity and performance. A $10,000 sign‑on bonus is also available.

In addition to competitive salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package, incentive and recognition programs, equity stock purchase, and 401(k) contributions (all benefits are subject to eligibility requirements). Benefits and incentives are available regardless of when you begin a career with us.
