Reporting to the Chief Medical Officer, the Medical Director focuses on Evaluating hospital admissions, continued stays, and post-acute services for Medicare Advantage members.

  • Complex Case Management: Serve as the primary physician reviewer for escalated or complex UM cases requiring expert medical judgment.
  • Collaboration: Partner with utilization and care management teams to ensure consistent, cost-effective care and participate in UM committee meetings.
  • Compliance & Documentation: Ensure all decisions are documented according to NCQA and CMS requirements; support audit preparedness and delegated oversight.
  • Utilization Trends: Identify patterns in care and support interventions to reduce unnecessary admissions or extended stays.

What You Will Bring

  • Credentials: Licensed M.D. or D.O. in good standing in your state of residence.
  • Clinical Experience: Minimum of 5 years of clinical experience.
  • Managed Care Expertise: At least 3 years in a utilization management or medical leadership role within a managed care or health plan setting.
  • Specialized Knowledge: Strong experience in inpatient/post-acute case review and deep knowledge of Medicare Advantage regulations and CMS coverage criteria.
  • Technical Skills: Extensive experience with MCG guidelines and advanced proficiency in MS Office and medical management software.
  • Education (Preferred): MPH, MBA, or MHA; Certification by the American Board of Quality Assurance and Utilization Review Physicians (ABQAURP).

You Will Be Successful If:

  • You are an expert in using data to design and implement clinical programs and population health management.
  • You possess strong negotiation skills, particularly in physician-to-physician interactions.
  • You thrive in a matrix organization and can mentor staff while making independent, high-stakes decisions.
  • You have a meticulous eye for detail and can maintain a reasonable rate of speed in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
  • You are committed to the highest standards of confidentiality and clinical documentation.
