Virtual Physician (MD or DO) — Texas (PECOS Medicare billing)

Important: this role is for practitioners who bill Medicare on their own. You qualify if you bill Medicare as a sole proprietor under your own NPI, or through a practice you own (a PLLC, PC or LLC) that holds its own PECOS enrollment, and Medicare payments go directly to you or to your practice. If your Medicare billing goes through an employer or a group you do not own, this posting is not a fit and we will not be able to move forward.
