Primary Care APP - Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant in Austin, Texas at Frontier Direct, LLC

At Frontier Direct, we're transforming healthcare. Our patients get access to the care they need quickly and efficiently while experiencing improved health outcomes for the first time in their life. Join us in shaping the future of healthcare!

TRANSFORM HEALTHCARE AND CREATE MASSIVE IMPACT

We build experiences people love by incorporating empathy, care and trust. We challenge the status quo to restore the patient-provider relationship, starting with a team that deeply cares about healthcare and each other.

Frontier Direct Care delivers direct primary care (DPC) to employer-sponsored patient populations. Our providers manage a defined patient panel with an emphasis on continuity, preventive care, and chronic disease management — a model built around lower daily patient volume and longer visit times than traditional fee-for-service primary care.

Position Summary

We're hiring Family Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants to serve as the primary clinician to provide support, treatment and management to patients. This is a full-scope, hands-on primary care role: you'll manage chronic disease, perform in-office procedures, and build long-term relationships with patients rather than cycling through high-volume, short visits.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide longitudinal primary care across chronic disease management, preventive care, and acute visits to members.
• Perform in-office procedures including I&Ds, suturing and suture removal, skin biopsies, and men's and women's health exams
• Conduct visits in person, by phone, and by secure text/video, with typical visit lengths of 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on patient need
• Diagnose and manage chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia) with the panel size and visit time needed to intervene before conditions progress
• Coordinate daily patient care and task delegation with an assigned Medical Assistant
• Document all visits and maintain patient records in the EHR.
• Maintain 24/7/365 on-call access for patient communication via a company-provided secure line (Twilio-based; personal phone number is never shared with patients)
• Work under a collaborating/delegating physician in accordance with Texas Medical Board supervision requirements
• Participate in weekly team meetings and 1:1s and other clinical meetings as requested or required.

• Active, unencumbered Texas licensure as a PA (NCCPA-certified) OR APRN-FNP (national board certified)
• Minimum 2 years of post-graduate experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant in family practice or primary care
• Demonstrated experience managing patients across the lifespan (pediatric through geriatric)
• Hands-on experience performing I&Ds, suturing/suture removal, skin biopsies, IV placement, and men's/women's health exams
• Active, unrestricted DEA registration, or ability to obtain prior to start
• Current BLS certification, or ability to obtain within 30 days of employment
• Proficiency with electronic medical records and scheduling software

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in direct primary care, concierge medicine, or an employer-sponsored clinic model
• Bilingual (English/Spanish)
• Experience owning or managing a patient panel with full clinical autonomy
• Multistate licensure or telehealth experience
• Comfort with a lower-volume, higher-touch practice model versus high-throughput fee-for-service
