Accountant II
Description
JOB DESCRIPTION
Founded in 2013 on the philosophy that people deserve the highest quality patient experience in a walk-in care environment, GoHealth Urgent Care has grown to more than 260 state-of-the-art urgent care centers in just a few years, and the company continues to expand rapidly. The company’s successful practice model brings together board-certified physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners in innovative treatment centers. The company equips these providers with the latest medical technologies, on-site imaging systems and lab services. Plus, electronic medical records can instantly share information with the respective health system partner in each region or with the patient’s primary care physician, as needed. The company operates through joint ventures in several markets, in which GoHealth provides the infrastructure and services and partners with established health systems in each region. This places the company’s providers at the center of care, with the integrated resources and foundational support of a larger healthcare system behind them. They can seamlessly diagnose and care for patients – even ensure they get needed care from specialists. Few, if any urgent care centers can do all of this. GoHealth’s patients are more satisfied, and so are the company’s providers. The GoHealth model lets providers focus on practicing the art of medicine, instead of spending time running the business of medicine.
