About the job
Skilled Wound Care is hiring a Wound Care Physician to join its mobile practice in Houston, TX. This position centers on providing wound care to geriatric patients in nursing facilities. As an independent contractor (1099), physicians step away from hospital routines and focus on direct patient care. Clinical decisions and outcomes remain in the physician’s hands, while Skilled Wound Care manages contracts and billing logistics.
What makes this role unique
- Independent contractor model: Physicians operate as 1099 providers, gaining flexibility and tax advantages without the need to run their own clinic.
- Clinical autonomy: Patient care decisions are made without hospital bureaucracy, allowing a focus on healing with current wound care methods.
- Zero overhead and strong earning potential: No private practice expenses. Full-time physicians typically start at $220,000 - $250,000 annually, with the potential to exceed $300,000 through additional services and bonuses. There is no earnings cap.
- Protected personal time: No night shifts, on-call duties, or weekend work. The schedule supports work-life balance.
- Streamlined documentation: Custom software reduces paperwork and administrative burden, allowing more time for patient care.
Compensation and support
Skilled Wound Care provides strong support and resources from the start. The company manages facility relationships and billing, so physicians can focus on clinical outcomes and building patient relationships.
