Associate Medical Director, Med-Psych

Accompany Health is on a mission to give patients with complex needs the dignified, high-quality care they deserve but rarely receive. A primary, behavioral, and social care provider, Accompany Health walks alongside patients for their entire care journey, offering at-home and virtual care, as well as 24/7 support. Partnering with innovative payors, Accompany Health is powered by remarkable care teams, elegant technology, and a commitment to evidence-based practice. 

We build long-term relationships with our patients so they know, without question, that our team is here for them day or night, year after year. We focus on the health outcomes most important to our patients to make it clear that they lead the way.

To achieve our mission, we collaborate with community-based organizations, local providers, and health plans. Led by our empathetic care teams, guided by proven care models, and powered by our own technology, we deliver a level of service that our communities rightfully deserve but rarely receive. 

While our headquarters is in Bethesda, MD, our teams are distributed across the country.  If you’re eager to make a tangible difference in people’s lives, to help correct long-standing disparities in health care, join us. 

 

Accompany Health Med-Psych Associate Medical Directors (AMDs) are key clinical leaders supporting patients and care teams across our Standard and Complex Care models. You will work with health advocates, physicians, nurses, behavioral health clinicians, and pharmacists to deliver coordinated, whole-person care for patients with complex medical, behavioral, and social needs.

 

As a Med-Psych AMD, you will clinically supervise Med-Psych and Psych APCs and their care pods in partnership with APC Managers, the Executive Medical Director of Integrated Clinical Services, and BH Managers. You will also provide virtual mental and physical health care via video, phone, and text.

 

In the Standard Model, you will lead integrated behavioral health services for patients with mild to moderate mental health and substance use needs, using the evidence-based Collaborative Care Model. You will act as the psychiatric consultant, supported by Med-Psych APCs and behavioral health clinicians, and collaborate with primary care and APCs to deliver patient-centered, measurement-based, treatment-to-target care. You will also supervise med-psychiatric APCs providing e-consults for diagnostic clarity and medication management.

 

In the High-Risk Advanced Behavioral Health Model, you will provide direct and consultative care for a small panel of patients with serious mental illness and/or severe substance use disorders. You will supervise and support Med-Psychiatric APCs delivering both primary medical and behavioral health care, ensuring multidisciplinary care plans that reduce avoidable utilization and increase patients’ healthy days at home.
