Risk Adjustment Strategic Partner

Risk Adjustment Strategic Partner

The Risk Adjustment Strategic Partner works as a liaison between the provider community and Select Health. This is a niche market that requires a specialized skill set to lead and build relationships with provider organizations, clinic leaders, and healthcare providers. This role will coordinate workstreams that include risk adjustment, HEDIS and STAR gap closure, and healthcare utilization. Travel will be required for in-person meetings with provider organizations. The Risk Adjustment Strategic Partner will ensure providers understand multiple data points relevant to population health, navigate data tools to monitor and analyze health data to identify trends, and develop strategies to address gaps in care, provide solutions for actionable clinic and provider opportunities, and spearheads the development of tailored programs that cultivate value-based relationships in healthcare. Collaborating closely with leadership, this position will craft implementation plans and provide insights on program effectiveness. The role extends to advising executives on segment-specific strategies, demonstrating independent judgment and decision-making prowess. Operating with minimal supervision to analyze multifaceted issues, this position will identify optimal courses of action and commit to problem-solving.

This is a hybrid position- mostly remote, but minimal travel to some local clinics is required quarterly.
