Job Description

About LumiMeds

LumiMeds is a fast-growing U.S.-based telehealth startup focused on weight management and long-term metabolic health. We are building the next generation of e-commerce and clinical infrastructure from the ground up.

As an early-stage company, we move quickly, operate with limited layers, and expect high ownership from every team member. There is no bureaucracy here — decisions happen fast, priorities evolve, and builders thrive.

We are a remote-first, globally distributed team that values clarity, accountability, and people who take initiative rather than wait for direction.

  • Remote – United States Only
  • Must Hold 30+ Active U.S. State Licenses

Role Overview

We are seeking a U.S.-based, multi-state licensed Physician (MD or DO) to provide telehealth care for patients seeking evidence-based weight management and metabolic treatment.

In this role, you will:

  • Conduct virtual patient evaluations
  • Review intake forms, medical histories, and laboratory results
  • Determine medical necessity and prescribe treatment when clinically appropriate

Provide Ongoing Follow-up and Clinical Oversight

This position offers flexibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to contribute to a rapidly scaling telehealth organization focused on responsible, compliant growth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct synchronous and/or asynchronous virtual consultations
  • Evaluate patient medical histories and relevant diagnostic data
  • Prescribe treatment in accordance with state and federal regulations
  • Monitor patient progress and adjust treatment plans as appropriate
  • Document all clinical encounters accurately within the EMR
  • Maintain compliance with all telehealth, prescribing, and documentation standards
  • Collaborate with care coordination teams to support positive patient outcomes
  • Participate as an active clinical member of LumiMeds’ PC group

Required Qualifications

  • MD or DO with active, unrestricted U.S. medical license
  • Board-certified in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine
  • Active licensure in 30+ U.S. states (required)
  • Eligible and compliant to practice telemedicine in licensed states
  • Active DEA registration (multi-state preferred)
  • Strong understanding of evidence-based weight management and metabolic health

Preferred Experience

  • Prior telehealth experience
  • Experience treating obesity, metabolic syndrome, or GLP-1–based therapies
  • Comfortable working within structured, compliance-forward telehealth workflows

What We Offer

  • Fully remote, flexible scheduling
  • Administrative and operational support
  • Modern EMR and streamlined clinical workflows
  • Competitive per-visit or contract-based compensation
  • Opportunity to help shape a physician-led telehealth PC group

Important Notes

  • All clinical decisions, including prescribing, are made solely at the discretion of the provider.
  • LumiMeds does not direct or mandate specific medical treatments.
  • This role is structured to support ethical, compliant, patient-first care.
