📋 Description

• Provide physician leadership for population health priorities, with a focus on high-risk and high-cost populations across lines of business. • Ensure the clinical appropriateness of risk stratification and intervention approaches, informing where and how resources are deployed. • Guide clinical priorities that improve outcomes, experience, and value across targeted populations, aligned to client and contractual goals. • Provide physician oversight for high-cost claimants and stop-loss reporting where required for contractual, audit, or customer needs. • Ensure clinical validity, accuracy, and consistency of external reporting and client deliverables. • Partner with analytics teams to streamline and standardize reporting processes, reducing manual physician involvement over time while maintaining clinical integrity. • Serve as the physician escalation point for complex, high-risk, or clinically ambiguous cases where physician input drives meaningful decisions or risk mitigation. • Define and refine criteria for physician involvement so effort is focused on high-impact scenarios rather than broad retrospective review. • Promote standards of practice, quality oversight, and exception-based engagement models that emphasize proactive, value-added physician review. • Identify and eliminate low-value physician work through automation, delegation, and clearer protocols, in partnership with operations and product teams. • Lead the transition from legacy case management support toward a focused, high-impact physician role concentrated on population health, governance, and critical escalations.

🎯 Requirements

• Education: Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) degree; current, unrestricted medical license in good standing. Board certification in an applicable specialty (e.g., Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, or relevant subspecialty) required. • 7+ years of clinical practice experience, with at least 3–5 years in a health plan, population health, accountable care, or value-based care setting. • Demonstrated experience with population health management, high-cost claimant oversight, or utilization management programs. • Prior leadership experience in a medical director or equivalent physician leadership role strongly preferred. • Deep understanding of population health concepts, including risk stratification, targeted interventions, and measurement of clinical and financial outcomes across populations. • Familiarity with high-cost claimants, stop-loss programs, and clinical risk management, including how clinical oversight influences contractual performance and client satisfaction. • Experience in clinical governance and quality oversight, including setting clinical standards, review criteria, and escalation pathways for complex cases. • Comfort working with analytics, reporting outputs, and data-driven decision-making in a clinical or operational context.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive medical, dental, and vision coverage • Competitive 401(k) Plan with a generous company match • Flexible Time Off/Paid Time Off, 13 paid holidays • Protection Plans including Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, and Supplemental Insurance • Mental Health and Wellness benefits
