Telehealth Physician – Remote 1099 | Structured Intake & Care Navigation
About Baba
Baba is rebuilding healthcare for older adults.
Navigating healthcare can be overwhelming. By 2030, over 65 million older adults will make up nearly a quarter of the U.S. population, creating one of the largest and most urgent challenges in healthcare. Baba makes it easier by pairing older adults with an expert advocate (usually a nurse or social worker) who coordinates their care. Baba's insurance-covered advocates have supported thousands of families by writing insurance appeals, researching specialists, getting medical equipment and cheaper medications, and scheduling appointments.
Baba is backed by top tier investors and supports thousands of families across assisted living, nursing homes, and at-home settings. www.callbaba.com
About the Role
As a Physician conducting Intake Consultations at Baba, you’ll perform brief, structured telehealth visits that establish medical necessity for our care navigation programs. These intake visits are the cornerstone of Baba’s service— identifying high-risk conditions, unmet social needs, and confirming eligibility for ongoing care navigation services.
You’ll work with our advocates and clinical operations team to ensure patients are enrolled safely, compliantly, and compassionately into the right level of support. This is a remote, 1099 (contractor) position, suitable for physicians seeking flexible, high-impact telehealth work.
What You’ll Do
Conduct initiating visits. Perform telehealth-based E/M or Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) to establish medical necessity for care navigation services and identify high-risk conditions or unmet social needs.
Document findings in Baba’s platform, ensuring accurate coding and use of SDOH Z-codes, diagnoses, and risk factors.
Validate care plans. Develop and approve individualized care plans to ensure alignment with the patient’s medical treatment plan and documentation of continued medical necessity.
What You Bring
M.D. or D.O. with an active, unrestricted U.S. medical license.
Broad multistate licensure strongly required (IMLC participation or 50-state coverage preferred).
Board certification in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or Geriatrics preferred.
2+ years of experience in primary care, telehealth, or care management.
Familiarity with Medicare programs, including care navigation, incident-to requirements, and SDOH documentation.
Proficiency with EMRs, care management platforms, and telehealth workflows.
Bilingual Spanish required
Why Join Baba
Help shape a new model of integrated, tech-enabled care advocacy that unites clinical oversight with social support.
Work remotely and flexibly while ensuring patients receive high-quality care.
Join a mission-driven team building the care that every patient deserves.

Concentrating your search on Streeterville, the Illinois Medical District, and Evanston puts you closest to the highest volume of openings. Candidates with subspecialty board certification, experience in high-volume urban patient populations, and familiarity with Epic EHR tend to move through Chicago hiring processes faster than generalists without those qualifications.

About 38% of physician openings tied to Chicago are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, concentrated in administrative and advisory functions.

How can I get a physician job in Chicago with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Chicago is through residency or fellowship programs at the city's academic medical centers, which regularly convert trainees into staff physicians. Federally qualified health centers and community health organizations in underserved neighborhoods on Chicago's South and West sides often hire physicians with limited attending experience.
