  • Analyze provider performance through data review, including provider credentialing, site reviews, and medical record audits, to ensure adherence to managed care standards.
  • Collaborate with Pharmacy and other clinical departments to oversee care coordination, especially in managing pharmacy benefits and medication adherence.
  • Support oversight of fraud, waste, and abuse programs from a clinical perspective.
  • Assist in the development, implementation, and monitoring of organizational goals aligned with our mission.
  • Contribute to educational initiatives for members and providers, evaluating and enhancing health promotion programs.

  • Proficiency in data analysis, quality improvement techniques, and clinical standards development.
  • Experience with pharmacy benefits, behavioral health integration, and population health management is preferred.
  • Ability to interpret and apply federal and state healthcare regulations accurately.
  • Computer literacy and familiarity with healthcare management software.
  • Commitment to patient-centered care and ethical practice.

Work Environment & Career Growth:

This role is initially fully remote during the locum period, with a transition to a hybrid model upon permanent appointment. Candidates will have ongoing opportunities for professional development, participation in strategic initiatives, and the potential for leadership advancement within our organization.
