Practice Liaison

Practice Liaison

At Diverge Health we are passionate about improving health access and outcomes for those most in need. We partner with primary care providers to improve the engagement and management of their Medicaid patients, offering independent practices with specialized resources and clinical programs to close gaps in care. Our teams work to address medical, social and behavioral patient needs, lowering healthcare costs and improving patient lives. Guided by our core values of humility, continuous learning and feeling the weight, our team is on a mission to strengthen communities from within, unlocking people's ability to live their healthiest lives.

We are looking for a Practice Liaison to join our growing team! A key role in our market operations team, the Practice Liaison will be accountable for ensuring that participating practices can continually access, and have a clear understanding of how to utilize, Diverge Health's technology and care solutions. We are looking for someone who has excellent communication skills, and the ability to communicate with providers, payers, and non-clinical care teams.

The Practice Liaison serves as the primary point of contact between Diverge Health and our partnered practices. This person will partner with cross-functional stakeholders such as Network Development and Local Care teams to establish relationships with practices and then maintain regular communication between the practice and the Care Team regarding patient care plans. The Practice Liaison is expected to support the practice with ongoing workflow development, monitoring, and implementation as it relates to operational initiatives that will improve practice performance in the areas of panel management, quality (including gap closure, pre-visit planning, and post-visit documentation), risk adjustment (in applicable markets), and high-risk patient engagement. The Practice Liaison also delivers and/or facilitates regular training related to these areas and other aspects of value-based care.

Key areas you'll add value:

• Jointly with Network Development Representatives, establish relationships with practices following initial network contracting.
• Lead the new practice onboarding process, including development of the onboarding plan, scheduling and delivering trainings, and arranging practice access to Diverge Health technology solutions.
• Provide education and training to clinicians and staff on value-based care, Diverge Health's incentive plan, and best practices in quality and risk adjustment (Medicaid and other lines of business as applicable).
• Facilitate presentation and discussion of performance scorecards, claims data, and gap reports, translating insights into clear, actionable steps.
• In collaboration with practice leadership, develop initiatives that drive value-based transformation and improve quality, efficiency, and overall practice performance.
• Facilitate access to Diverge Health resources, including Medical Directors, Care Team members, and technology solutions.
• Maintain regular communication between practices and the Care Team regarding patient care plans developed by Diverge Health.
• Facilitate quarterly Joint Operating Committee (JOC) meetings with the Market Medical Director to review incentive performance, quality scorecards, and care team engagement, and to improve practice performance in quality, documentation, and patient engagement.
• Support practices in navigating EMRs, Diverge's Provider Portal, and other technology platforms; serve as a resource for resolving operational or data-related issues.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date practice profiles in Diverge Health's CRM, including provider rosters, contact information, tiering, communications plans, and engagement cadence (e.g., JOC frequency).
• Meet defined practice engagement and performance goals, balancing external practice interactions with internal meetings, travel, and administrative responsibilities.

• 2+ years experience with a value-based care company preferred
• Strong understanding of value-based care (VBC) models and how they differ from fee-for-service, with experience supporting practices in a VBC environment.

• Ability to interpret reports and dashboards to track performance, close quality gaps, and identify opportunities for improved outcomes.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially PowerPoint (provider-facing presentations) and Excel (data analysis).
• Proven ability to balance competing priorities in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
• A proactive self-starter who can work independently while thriving in a collaborative team setting.
