Telehealth Physician - New Mexico (1099)

If you’ve felt the pressures of traditional practice, chasing volume instead of shaping outcomes, Wider Circle may be for you.
Patients leave the hospital, and the system fractures: families scramble, meds get muddled, follow-up falls through, and another admission happens. The system wasn’t built for these moments. We started Wider Care+ because it simply wasn’t enough.

Wider Circle delivers community-rooted, relationship-driven care for older adults and clinically complex populations by aligning clinical insight with trusted, community-based support. Wider Care+ is our new pilot that pairs physicians, Community Health Workers, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, and care navigators to create a coordinated, humane path forward. You are the clinical entry point—the comprehensive assessment that sets the foundation for real, ongoing intervention.

The Role As a Consulting Clinician for Wider Care+, you’ll conduct initial telehealth assessments that serve as the clinical gateway for members newly enrolled in the pilot. Each visit confirms clinical needs, synthesizes the medical and social context, identifies barriers to care, and establishes prioritized clinical goals for the care team to implement over the course of months of support. Your assessment directly shapes the member’s care journey. This role is ideal for clinicians interested in innovative care delivery, population health, and collaborative, whole-person models of care.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive telehealth initial visits for enrolled members (45–60 min)
• Synthesize complex medical and social histories and identify clinical priorities and risks
• Create concise, actionable clinical plans and handoffs for Community Health Workers, LCSWs, and care navigators
• Document findings and recommendations clearly in the EMR to guide ongoing care
• Provide clinical guidance on escalation pathways and program workflows during the pilot
• Build rapid clinical rapport and trust with members and caregivers

Why clinicians say Wider Care+ feels different

• Clinical autonomy: You own assessments and clinical judgment—no productivity quotas, no templated box-checking.

• Focused clinical impact: You set direction; a skilled, community-centered team executes longitudinal engagement and social support.
• Remote, flexible work: Telehealth visits you can schedule to fit your week—no clinic overhead, no commute.
• Early-stage influence: Join a pilot shaping how we deliver whole-person care at scale.
• Team-based care: You’re never alone—care managers and community teammates carry longitudinal work.

Requirements

• MD or DO with an active, unrestricted New Mexico license

• Board-certified or board-eligible in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, or related primary care specialty preferred
• Substantial experience with Medicare/Medicaid populations, or complex chronic disease management
• Skilled at telehealth assessment and building rapport virtually
• Strong clinical judgment, comfort with complexity and ambiguity, and interest in care coordination
• Comfortable working in an iterative, startup-like pilot environment

Benefits

• 1099 independent contractor

• Competitive hourly/visit-based compensation (commensurate with experience)
• Part-time, flexible scheduling (recommended 6–10+ hours/week depending on caseload)
• Fully virtual visits and EMR documentation
• Pilot role with opportunity to expand as Wider Care+ scales
• Competitive compensation ($150-$160 p/hr)

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a traditional panel-based practice.

You focus on understanding the patient and setting direction — while a dedicated support team helps carry out the ongoing engagement.
