The Opportunity

EHS is pursuing a contract to provide board-certified or board-eligible Emergency Medicine physician coverage at the Hampton VA Medical Center in Hampton, Virginia.

This is a 1099 contract opportunity designed for physicians who want clinical autonomy, predictable patients, and a real personal life — without the productivity targets, billing headaches, and patient-satisfaction-scoring pressures of community ED contracts.

What makes this opportunity different

• Veteran patient population. Largely stable, established patients with continuity in the VA system. Lower walk-in trauma volume than a typical community ED.
• No RVUs, no billing. Federal facility — you practice medicine, not coding. No charge capture, no denials, no patient collections.
• Flexible block scheduling. Commit to the shifts that fit your life. Great for physicians supplementing a primary position or transitioning out of full-time employment.
• Mission-driven. Caring for U.S. Veterans — a patient population that is often deeply appreciative of the care they receive.
• Hampton Roads lifestyle. Coastal Virginia: beaches, low cost of living, military-friendly community, easy access to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, and the Outer Banks.

  Compensation

• $225–$300 per hour, 1099 contracted, commensurate with experience, credentials, and final contract funding.
• Paid per shift — no productivity clawbacks.
• Malpractice and credentialing support provided through EHS.

Schedule & Practice Environment

• Shift length: 8 / 10 / 12 hour options |

Who We Are Seeking

• MD or DO from an accredited institution
• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Emergency Medicine (ABEM or AOBEM)
• Current, unrestricted U.S. medical license (any state or territory)
• Current DEA registration; BLS, ACLS, and PALS certifications
• U.S. citizenship (required for VA facilities)
• Eligibility for VA credentialing and privileging

Prior VA, military, or federal facility experience a plus — not required

Scope of Services

• Provide comprehensive emergency care to Veteran patients
• Perform medical screening exams, stabilize critical patients, and manage the full scope of ED procedures
• Order and interpret diagnostic studies; coordinate admissions, transfers, and consults
• Document in the VA EHR (CPRS / Oracle Health)
• Collaborate with the interdisciplinary ED team and meet ACEP-aligned clinical standards
