Part Time Patient Access Provider (Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner)

The Opioid Epidemic is a public health crisis with a highly effective but underutilized clinical intervention - millions of Americans are physically dependent on Opioids but only 10% of those likely to have OUD actually access treatment. Bicycle Health addresses this gap by maximizing accessibility, affordability, and overall quality of care by enabling highly qualified clinicians to reach patients broadly and efficiently through our online platform.

The Part Time Patient Access Provider is an addiction medicine Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant clinical position with responsibility for the initial intake and induction of patients under care primarily for opioid use disorder. The Advanced Practice Clinician will assess new patients presenting for telemedicine-based care of opioid use disorder, determine appropriateness of enrollment in our care setting, and oversee their transfer to another provider for continuity of care. At times, the clinician may be asked to help cover patients receiving maintenance care should an acute need arise. The Part Time Patient Access Provider role is to aid in low-barrier, quick access to addiction medicine evaluation and treatment.
