Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Physician

About The Opportunity

Join a growing mobile healthcare team delivering bedside musculoskeletal and pain management services across Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) and post-acute care settings throughout the Upper Cumberland region. This opportunity is ideal for semi-retired physicians, physicians seeking supplemental income, or providers already practicing in post-acute care who want a flexible, low-administrative role. We manage scheduling, billing, compliance, and operational support, allowing you to focus on patient care while collaborating with an experienced Physician Assistant team.

$3,000-$6,000/month (depending on how many PAs you support) for genuinely light, flexible collaboration on your own schedule: roughly an hour a week of chart review per PA, plus one on-site visit a month. No call, no weekends, no overhead. The stipend is for that light oversight—the real income comes when you treat your own patients at the bedside. You see the patients; we handle all the billing; you earn a competitive, uncapped share of the collections on the care you personally provide.
