Full-Time

Novant Health employs a full-time Virtual Primary Care Physician for a fully remote position serving patients in North Carolina and South Carolina from anywhere in the United States.

The physician provides preventive, acute, and chronic care through video visits. Novant Health assigns an established patient panel and supports longitudinal primary care, post-discharge follow-up, referrals, and population-health work. The position operates in partnership with K Health, which supplies non-clinical infrastructure, administrative support, technical support, and a clinical technology platform. Novant Health's physician openings include primary care and multiple specialty areas across North Carolina and South Carolina.

• Role: Virtual Primary Care Physician (FM/IM)
• Employer: Novant Health
• Location: Fully remote, serving North Carolina and South Carolina
• Employment: Full-time, Novant Health-employed
• Work pattern: Weekdays, 40 hours per week with 36 clinical hours

Applicants should have an updated CV and records that allow the employer to review clinical training, licensure, certification, and relevant experience. The application materials also need to identify the physician's family medicine or internal medicine background and the state license that supports practice in North Carolina or South Carolina.

Preventive, Acute, And Chronic Virtual Care

The physician handles preventive visits, acute concerns, and chronic-condition management through a video-based primary care model. Clinical work includes compassionate patient encounters, assessment of symptoms, treatment planning, follow-up, and referral when another level of care becomes appropriate.

Primary care physicians coordinate care across specialists, hospitals, community services, and the wider health system under the AAFP primary care policy . The Novant Health position applies that coordination to virtual visits, post-discharge support, and ongoing care for an established patient population.

• Preventive care and health maintenance
• Acute virtual visits for appropriate conditions
• Chronic-condition management
• Referral decisions when specialty or in-person care is indicated
• Post-discharge support and population-health initiatives

Longitudinal Panels And Clinical Follow-Up

Novant Health assigns a dedicated patient panel rather than limiting the physician's work to isolated visits. Longitudinal care requires attention to prior history, current symptoms, treatment response, preventive needs, and follow-up plans across successive encounters.

The care model also requires ongoing evaluation of adherence to clinical guidelines and accepted clinical practice. A physician working remotely must recognize when a video visit can resolve a concern and when examination, testing, emergency care, or an in-person appointment is necessary.

Family Medicine And Internal Medicine Qualifications

The position requires board certification in Family Medicine or Internal Medicine, at least three years of post-residency experience, and at least two years of in-person primary care experience. Virtual-visit experience, active medical licensure in North Carolina or South Carolina, and experience with the EPIC electronic medical record are also required.

Novant Health prefers participation in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact. The clinical team also needs a clean background and malpractice history, interest in longitudinal care and chronic-condition management, and comfort treating acute conditions through virtual care. Spanish-language ability is an advantage, not a stated requirement.

Credentialing For Remote Practice

Healthcare organizations verify a physician's education, training, licensure, certification, work history, and professional standing before granting clinical privileges. The NAMSS credentialing standards apply to telehealth practitioners and emphasize primary-source information for initial credentialing.

Remote practice does not remove the need for state authorization or clinical oversight. The NCQA credentialing accreditation program centers a consistent, effective, and diligent process that protects patients. Those checks support the physician's transition into a video-care environment where accurate records and clear escalation decisions carry operational weight.

Novant Health And K Health Support

Novant Health is a nonprofit organization and medical group with physicians, hospitals, clinics, and specialty services across North Carolina and South Carolina. The employer's physician program includes primary care, family medicine, internal medicine, surgery, cardiology, neurology, psychiatry, hospital medicine, oncology, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, dermatology, allergy, rheumatology, gastroenterology, palliative care, hospice, and infectious disease.

K Health supports the virtual program with non-clinical infrastructure, administrative staff, a Care Concierge, Clinical Operations support, technical assistance, and a clinical technology platform. Those resources leave the physician responsible for clinical judgment while operational teams handle the surrounding support functions.

The position expects clinicians to manage at least three cases per hour while maintaining accurate assessments, treatment plans, documentation, and follow-up decisions. Clinical technology training forms part of the work, so the physician must learn and implement the tools used by the virtual-care program.

Novant Health also provides malpractice insurance, paid time off, paid parental leave, retirement matching, and health, dental, and vision insurance options. The physician works from home while remaining connected to a North Carolina and South Carolina care organization.
