What are the job responsibilities?

We are seeking an experienced Hospice Associate Medical Director to lead the medical component of our agency in its mission to provide exceptional hospice care services. The ideal candidate will be an MD or DO with experience assuming the 24/7 overall responsibility of the hospice program's medical component. Primary duties include completing certifications of terminal illness, providing consultation during interdisciplinary group meetings, and coordinating care with attending physicians for relief of burdensome symptoms when needed.

This TX branch currently has a primary Medical Director in place who is covering the majority of the patient load.  The Associate Medical Director would cover needed hours when the primary MD is not available, so current hours required would be very limited.  As we continue to grow, this position would grow as well. 

Key responsibilities include

• Eligibility assessments, certifications and recertifications including F2Fs
• Reviews and certifies patients’ medical eligibility
• Consultation/Coordination with attending physician as needed
• Consultation with interdisciplinary team (IDT)
• Completes and submits all documentation timely and accurately

What do you need?

• Doctor of medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy degree from an accredited medical school required
• Valid state medical license with prescriptive authority where the hospice is located, without restrictions required
• One-year of experience with hospice and palliative care required

Full Job Description can be provided upon request.
