We’re unique. You should be, too.
We’re changing lives every day. For both our patients and our team members. Are you innovative and entrepreneurial minded? Is your work ethic and ambition off the charts? Do you inspire others with your kindness and joy?
We’re different than most primary care providers. We’re rapidly expanding and we need great people to join our team.
ChenMed, a physician-led and mission-driven, primary care organization, is currently one of the most successful full-risk Medicare Advantage providers in the nation and has a vision to be America’s leading primary care provider, transforming care of the neediest population. Our mission is to honor seniors with affordable VIP care that delivers better health. In order to achieve our vision and deliver our mission, we need the best primary care providers that are seeking to fulfill purpose and personal opportunity and join the ChenMed family.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Primary Care Physician (PCP) in our organization demonstrates:
- Accountability for outcomes: The PCP demonstrates accountability for outcomes, strong clinical care, and cost-effectiveness for each patient in their panel of up to 450 patients. They understand that they can strongly influence the patient’s outcomes by building a trusting relationship and helping them change behaviors.
- Coaching for health: The PCP acts as a health coach, rather than just a consultant for sickness, by helping patients set short and long-term health goals, partners with the patient to work toward the goals, and frequently follows up on those goals on the path to improved health for their patients.
- Simplifying for action: The PCP simplifies and prioritizes appropriately so that behavior change is more actionable, both for the patient in helping them achieve their goals, and when leading their care teams towards their performance goals.
We are an outcomes-focused, value-based organization and for their panel of patients, the following metrics are regularly measured to help PCPs become successful and reach partnership status: patient admissions/thousand, using between 18-21 appointment slots per day (each new patient counts for 2 slots, follow-up patients 1 slot), CGCAHPS (patient experience), clinical gaps closures, and medical cost measures. Each PCP will have goals for these metrics and will be expected to work towards those targets with their center and market leadership as well as their care teams. Culture is very important in the medical centers and because PCPs are leaders in our organization and centers, they are expected to help champion a positive culture of love, accountability, and passion along with center leadership.
The PCP will be required to demonstrate the ability to function both independently and in collaboration with other health care professionals. The PCP will work closely with the applicable managers and medical directors to ensure compliance with guidelines along with participating in risk and quality management programs, clinical meetings and other meetings as required that promote patient health and company goals.
The PCP will adhere to strict departmental goals/objectives, standards of performance, regulatory compliance, quality patient care compliance, and policies and procedures.
ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES:
- The PCP independently provides care for patients with acute and chronic illnesses encountered in the older adult patient.
- The PCP will take full accountability for patient care and outcomes and will appropriately seek consultation from specialists when needed, though will still stay involved in, and be responsible for, the detailed care of the patient.
- It is expected that the PCP will engage with the hospitalist whenever one of their patients is in the hospital (regardless of whether the hospitalist works for ChenMed or not).
- The PCP is responsible for assessment, diagnosis, treatment, management, education, health promotion and care coordination and documentation for patients with acute and complex chronic health needs.
- The PCP leads their care team consisting of care promoter (medical assistant), care facilitator, and care coordinator for patients able to come to the office.
- For patients that are unable to come to the office—in hospital, SNF, LTC or homebound, PCP will engage with the transitional care team and others including case managers, acute and transitional-care physicians, and other resources that may be available depending on the market.
- PCP will have an active role in the management of their center and will help cover for other providers who may be out for various reasons. It is also expected that each PCP will take an active role as needed in recruiting patients for the center and additional providers for the company.
- Supervises, collaborates with, participates with, or functions within a practice or collaborative agreement with an Advanced Practice Practitioner (APP) and remains accountable for the actions of the APP while employed with the company.
- Performs other duties as assigned and modified at manager’s discretion.
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES:
Competencies for Success
- Availability and Accessibility for patients to build trust from their patients. It is expected that PCPs will make themselves as available to their patients as possible by being open and available for walk-in visits and answering phone calls and messages in a timely manner.
- Service Orientation — PCPs provide care that they would want for a family member or for themselves to each patient at every interaction.
- Evidence Based Medicine — The PCP remains updated on evidence-based medicine, but also recognizes that factors outside of traditional medicine, like lifestyle and nutrition, have a large impact on patient health outcomes. The PCP stays up to date on clinical, nutritional, and lifestyle-based interventions to improve outcomes.
- Physician Leadership is integral to good healthcare, so the PCP must be willing to continuously work to develop and improve leadership skills for the benefit of one’s patients, their team, their center and the company.
- Quality — Our patients deserve the highest quality of care. This requires a willingness to work with the care teams towards achieving high quality outcomes and quality measures. At the same time, PCPs will always be looking for ways to continuously and systematically improve their practice of medicine and the operations of their center.
- Influence — PCPs must competently and compassionately influence their patients, their teams, and themselves to achieve the best outcomes.
- Self-Care — A PCP can take the best care for their patients when they are adequately caring for themselves. That means physically, mentally, socially and spiritually. Physician wellness is important for sustainability and promoting the health of physicians, staff, and patients.
- Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite products including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, plus a variety of other word-processing, spreadsheet, database, e-mail and presentation software as used in the company.
- Ability and willingness to travel locally as needed in their market, if applicable, nationally for initial training (2 weeks) and then occasionally regionally and nationally for recruiting or training purposes.
- Fluency in English, verbal and written. There may be jobs in some centers that require fluency in other languages, and this will be made known at the time of application.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Primary Care Physician Jobs at ChenMed
Verify your medical credentials match ChenMed's requirements
ChenMed requires board certification or eligibility in internal medicine or family medicine. Confirm your ECFMG certification and residency completion are documented before applying, as incomplete credentials will stall any sponsorship conversation.
Target ChenMed's underserved market locations strategically
ChenMed operates in medically underserved urban areas, which can qualify for National Interest Waiver eligibility under EB-2. If your background fits, positioning yourself for NIW alongside employer sponsorship gives you a parallel green card path.
Understand how ChenMed's care model shapes the H-1B petition
ChenMed's physician role involves a defined patient panel and capitated care model, not fee-for-service. Your employer will need to demonstrate specialty occupation status to USCIS, so the petition should reflect the clinical complexity and advanced degree requirement clearly.
Ask about PERM timing during the offer stage
For EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship, the DOL PERM labor certification process takes twelve months or longer. Raise this with the recruiter before signing your offer so both timelines, H-1B and green card, are planned from day one.
Use Migrate Mate to find open Primary Care Physician roles at ChenMed
ChenMed posts openings across multiple states simultaneously and hiring timelines vary by location. Browse Migrate Mate to filter specifically for ChenMed physician roles that include visa sponsorship, so you're applying to active positions, not stale listings.
Account for the J-1 waiver requirement if it applies to you
If you completed a U.S. residency on a J-1 visa, you face a two-year home residency requirement before H-1B sponsorship is possible unless you obtain a waiver. ChenMed's underserved service areas may qualify you for a Conrad 30 state waiver program.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does ChenMed sponsor H-1B visas for Primary Care Physicians?
Yes, ChenMed sponsors H-1B visas for Primary Care Physicians. The role qualifies as a specialty occupation under USCIS criteria given the advanced degree requirements in internal medicine or family medicine. ChenMed has a consistent pattern of sponsoring physicians across its network, though individual center hiring timelines and budgets vary, so confirming sponsorship intent directly with the recruiter during early conversations is the practical first step.
How do I apply for Primary Care Physician jobs at ChenMed?
You can find and apply to open Primary Care Physician positions at ChenMed through Migrate Mate, which filters specifically for roles that include visa sponsorship. ChenMed hires across multiple states and markets simultaneously, so searching by location and sponsorship type helps you identify where active openings exist. Having your ECFMG certificate, board certification documentation, and CV ready before applying speeds up the process significantly.
Which visa types does ChenMed commonly use for Primary Care Physician roles?
ChenMed sponsors H-1B visas as the primary nonimmigrant work authorization path for physicians. For longer-term immigration, the company also supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship through the PERM labor certification process. Physicians on F-1 OPT or those holding TN visa status (for Canadian and Mexican nationals who qualify under USMCA) may also be eligible depending on their specific situation and the hiring center's needs.
What qualifications does ChenMed expect from Primary Care Physician candidates?
ChenMed requires candidates to hold an MD or DO degree with completed residency training in internal medicine or family medicine. Board certification or active board eligibility is standard. The care model is senior-focused and value-based, so clinical experience managing chronic conditions in older adult populations is a practical advantage. International medical graduates must have active ECFMG certification and a valid state medical license or the eligibility to obtain one in the target state.
How long does the sponsorship process take for a Primary Care Physician at ChenMed?
An H-1B transfer or new petition through USCIS standard processing takes three to six months. If you need premium processing, USCIS typically adjudicates within 15 business days. For Green Card sponsorship via PERM, the DOL labor certification alone takes twelve months or more before USCIS petition filing even begins. If you're on a J-1 visa with a home residency requirement, factor in waiver processing time through the Conrad 30 program before any H-1B filing can proceed.
