Position Summary
CVS Health, a Fortune 4 company, has an outstanding opportunity for a Medical Director - Medical Affairs. We need a Board Certified Oncologist for this opportunity.
The Medical Affairs department provides clinical business support to the entire enterprise and provides clinical oversight and mentorship for CVS Health clinical programs, PBM Clinical Quality activities, consultative support to the P&T process, formulary development, drug information services and pipeline activities, and provision of clinical leadership to various internal departments (e.g., specialty pharmacy services, clinical product development, Enterprise Analytics, Compliance, Legal, Accreditation) and clients.
The Medical Director (Medical Affairs) will report into the Medical Affairs Department and is responsible for clinical support and consultative activities across the PBM. In this role you may provide consultative clinical support to Account Management in support of Key Clients as assigned.
The Medical Director transacts Utilization Management (UM) activities (prior authorization and appeals) and responds to prescriber inquiries related to UM transactions and more generally related to CVS Health coverage policies.
Medical Directors at CVS Health are encouraged to model the highest levels of clinical integrity, knowledge and cross functional thinking and decision making.
