Job Description

The Opportunity

This is a Direct Primary Care role — which means no RVUs, no call, no insurance headaches, and the kind of patient relationships that remind you why you chose primary care. KerixHealth's Columbia, Missouri practice is growing because this model works: for patients, for physicians, and for the team around them.

The practice is busy and thriving because patients genuinely love being there. This is primary care the way most physicians hoped it would be, and we’d love to speak with you about it!

We are seeking a Direct Primary Care physician to hold your own panel, plus serve as a Supervisory Physician for a team of Nurse Practitioners. Sign on bonus and relocation available!

Why This Role

  • Your own patient panel, plus a Supervisory Physician role for a collaborative NP team
  • Smaller patient panels — designed for depth, not throughput
  • Four clinical days, one administrative day, no call
  • Broad clinical scope: chronic disease management, preventive care, HRT, weight management, longevity care
  • No RVUs, no insurance billing pressure, with revenue tied to membership, not volume

Physician-led Culture with Strong Operational Support

Established, growing practice with a proven model. and room to help shape what comes next
