Telehealth Physician — Care Navigation Service (California Licensed)

California Licensed Physician — Intake Consultations at Baba Care

About Baba Care

Navigating health, aging, and loneliness is hard. Baba makes it easier by pairing each patient with a real human advocate team and an AI companion that supports them between visits—over simple phone calls and texts, no new apps or devices needed.

About the Role

As a Physician conducting Intake Consultations at Baba, you’ll perform brief, structured telehealth visits that establish medical necessity for our care advocacy and navigation programs. These intake visits are the cornerstone of Baba’s service—identifying high-risk conditions, unmet social needs, and confirming eligibility for ongoing Medicare covered advocacy services.

You’ll work with our care advocates and clinical operations team to ensure patients are enrolled safely, compliantly, and compassionately into the right level of support. This is a remote, 1099 (contractor) position, suitable for physicians seeking flexible, high-impact telehealth work.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct initiating visits. Perform telehealth-based E/M or Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) to establish medical necessity for advocacy services and identify high-risk conditions or unmet social needs.
• Document findings in Baba’s platform, ensuring accurate coding and use of SDOH Z-codes, diagnoses, and risk factors.
• Validate care plans. Develop and approve individualized care plans to ensure alignment with the patient’s medical treatment plan and documentation of continued medical necessity.
• Collaborate with advocates and nurse care managers to finalize individualized care plans aligned with each patient’s medical and social needs.

What You Bring

• M.D. or D.O. with an active, unrestricted U.S. medical license.
• California licensure or multi-state strongly preferred (IMLC participation or 50-state coverage ideal).
• Board certification in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or Geriatrics preferred.
• 2+ years of experience in primary care, telehealth, or care management.
• Familiarity with Medicare programs, including advocacy billing, incident-to requirements, and SDOH documentation.
• Proficiency with EMRs, care management platforms, and telehealth workflows.

Why Join Baba

• Help shape a new model of integrated, tech-enabled care advocacy that unites clinical oversight with social support.
• Work remotely and flexibly while ensuring patients receive high-quality, coordinated care.
• Join a mission-driven team building the care copilot that every patient deserves.
