CENTURION IS EXPANDING IN GEORGIA
COME GROW WITH US!
Since 1997, Centurion has proudly partnered with the Georgia Department of Corrections to provide mental health services. We are excited to announce that we will now also be expanding our services to include medical care. Centurion is actively seeking a Primary Care Physician as a Regional Medical Director with Utilization Management experience.
The Regional Medical Director is combined with utilization management and female health. This position will require 1 to 2 days per week onsite at women’s facilities and the other days at home or regional office meetings. The UM duties involve making physician determinations of medical necessity for specialty referrals from the providers across all sites which do not meet criteria after review by the UM nurses. The role will also involve occasional inpatient medical necessity reviews when escalated by Centurion’s UM case managers during the instances where an inpatient no longer meets criteria or other concerns arise. The role may also involve chart reviews of avoidable hospital days and unnecessary services identified during claims reviews.
This position entails 50 percent of time to be spent on UM and 50 percent on the women’s facilities oversight and care.
Some of the unique benefits of correctional healthcare include:
- A clinically interesting, diverse patient population in a secure and structured setting
- Freedom from insurance, coding and reimbursement hassles
- Ability to spend time with your patients. No more cancelations or “no shows”
- Salary is consistent and is not based on patient volume
- Providers are not required to sign employment contracts or non-compete agreements
We offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package including:
- Company paid malpractice insurance
- Health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance
- Generous paid time off
- 401(k) plan with employer match
- CEU allowance + additional CEU paid day’s off
- Flexible Spending and Health Savings accounts
- Pet insurance and much, much more
Requirements:
- Medical degree (MD or DO) from an accredited medical school required
- Active and unrestricted MD/DO license or the ability to obtain one required
- Board certification in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Emergency Medicine required
- Must show/be able to obtain active Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) registration

A career in correctional healthcare allows our Primary Care Physicians to make a difference to an underserved population and have a positive impact not only on the patients, but the communities to which they return. Be the change and explore one of the featured opportunities.
