  • Lead and develop a high-performing value-based care team, fostering accountability, collaboration, and ongoing professional development.
  • Maintain comprehensive knowledge of value-based contract terms, HEDIS measures, HCC coding, risk-adjustment methodologies, incentive frameworks, and payer portal functionalities.
