About Avail Health 

Avail Health is a Nurse Practitioner–founded healthcare organization focused on improving access to care for Medicare-age individuals. We combine clinical expertise, technology, and operational support to deliver virtual and mobile care for complex senior populations. 

About the Role 

Avail Health is seeking an experienced Mobile Registered Nurse (RN) to provide in-person clinical assessment services for Medicare Advantage Institutional Special Needs Plan (I-SNP) members residing in long-term care facilities within the assigned service area. 

The role includes two primary areas of clinical service: independently completing Health Risk Assessments (HRAs) and related documentation to support member-driven Individualized Care Plans (ICPs), and partnering with Avail Health Nurse Practitioners to support Chronic Disease Assessments (CDAs) through in-person clinical assessment and facilitation of virtual NP visits. 

This opportunity is well suited for an experienced RN who is comfortable providing services independently in long-term care environments, engaging members and their authorized representatives, and collaborating with NPs, facility staff, and interdisciplinary care teams. 

The contractor will exercise independent professional and clinical judgment in performing accepted clinical services within RN scope of practice and applicable clinical, payer, regulatory, facility, privacy, security, and documentation requirements.
