Description
Humana is a $77 billion (Fortune 41) market leader in integrated healthcare with a clearly defined purpose to help people achieve lifelong well-being. As a company focused on the health and well-being of the people we serve, Humana is committed to advancing the employment experience and vitality of the associate community. Through offerings anchored in a whole-person view of human well-being, Humana embraces a focus on stimulating positive individual and population changes while nurturing a sense of security, enabling people to live life fully and be their most productive.
Against that backdrop, we are seeking an experienced healthcare leader to join our team as Associate Vice President, Strategy Advancement for our Healthcare Quality Reporting and Improvement (HQRI) organization. HQRI is responsible for improving health outcomes and advancing the care experience of our members and provider partners. It is comprised of two main teams: Risk Adjustment and Health Quality & Stars. The Risk Adjustment team collects and submits members' health information to CMS for generating accurate reimbursement for coverage, as well as inclusion in the appropriate clinical programs. The Health Quality and Stars team centralizes quality improvement and governance processes targeting Humana's Medicare Advantage members, and also manages compliant data submissions to CMS in adherence with the Stars Rating Program.
The AVP will play a key leadership role on the HQRI team, partnering directly with the HQRI leadership team, leaders across the enterprise, including Market leadership, and external companies to create Medicare Risk Adjustment strategies to support Humana's industry-leading position. This person will also establish relationships with external vendors whose products may be valuable resources for supporting our business goals, or viable solutions to business challenges that have been identified. In addition, the AVP will serve as a central point of contact for the lines of business as it relates to key Stars and Risk Adjustment initiatives.
In this newly-defined role, the AVP will build from scratch a small team that will provide product management and strategy support at a more operational level. This position will report directly to the Senior Vice President of HQRI and can be based anywhere within the lower 48 states.
