Nurse Practitioner - Home Visits - Per Diem

Overview

ComplexCare Solutions (CCS) specializes in helping those in need by delivering high value in-home and virtual assessments for health plans nationwide. We pride ourselves on our member engagement aimed towards evaluating current health status, gaps in care, potential health risks and care management opportunities with a focus on driving better clinical outcomes. Our visits give Providers the opportunity to spend a full hour with these members which allows them to capture a comprehensive picture of that individual’s personal needs and what is required to keep them in the home and out of the hospital.

CCS is calling on Nurse Practitioners that are passionate about helping their local communities. We care dearly about those we serve and we need your help to make a difference in the lives of our members.
