Description: Primary Care Physicians needed in a growing community north of New Orleans
HCA Physician Services in Covington, LA is currently searching for primary care physicians who are interested in employment opportunities. BC/BE Family Practice, Med/Peds and Internal Medicine physicians are being recruited. Our community is growing in leaps and bounds in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, and is currently the fastest growing City in the State. We're on the move! To facilitate this growth, HCA Physician Services is expanding its staff and will be opening new clinics in multiple locations in the area. The admitting facility is Lakeview Regional Medical Center. Anticipated call arrangements are 1:7, allowing physicians quality time off to spend with their family. Our patient base is primarily insured and Medicare, with very little Medicaid or indigent work. We will provide a competitive, incentive based salary, a fully comprehensive benefits package, paid overhead, malpractice insurance, relocation and many more perks. In addition, we can provide marketing, legal fee reimbursement and educational assistance to training physicians. Louisiana is a Tort Reform State (capped malpractice claims), which makes this a very physician friendly practice opportunity. As a member of a HCA hospital staff, physicians have access to the latest technology and state of the art equipment. HCA's eHC.com offers web services, allowing you to create your own physician website. The area offers convenient access to New Orleans, cultural activities, exceptional educational facilities, friendly people and is truly a wonderful place to call home.
